Can you point to the place where this is going on. You code sample is not
accurate but I suspect you were abbreviating. You want
<label for-"zip">Enter you zip code</label>
...
<input type="text" id="zip" size="5" ...>
What part of this is causing trouble. If you do it like this JFW will speak
"Enter your zip code edit type a text" (HPR says "Enter your zip code text"

It sounds like the issue might actually be due to the fact that the edit
fields are identified through buttons / javascript -- not plain text like
the example you give below. I also contacted Freedom Scientific for
additional information and their response was that Jaws doesn't work well
with WebMail applications yet....
I think the next step will be to see if the programmers are willing to
change the look of their product so there is a hyperlink with plain text
instead of a "button" next to each edit field.
Thank you for the feedback and any additional suggestions you have about
changes that can be made are still appreciated!

One thing you could try is to create your own "button" through css.
I have seen this done before by applying a style to the href that will
allow it to look like a button.
