Description David Bennett CLA 2002-10-24 10:20:22 EDT 
The content of the infopops are not currently read by screen readers. This 
information must be exposed to assistive technology for infopops to be fully 
accessible (Section 508 compliant).
Comment 1 Dorian Birsan CLA 2002-10-24 20:02:56 EDT 
I have released some fixes in the current 2.1 stream but I do not have a JAWS 
licence to test it. Could you pick up the next build and give it a try? Thanks.
Comment 2 Dorian Birsan CLA 2002-10-25 18:35:50 EDT 
I tested the fixes and JAWS now reads the text of the infopop. It does not yet 
read the related links at the bottom of the infopop (if any).
Comment 3 Dorian Birsan CLA 2002-10-28 09:39:04 EST 
Actually, if you press the tab key to get focus on related links, their text is 
read out.
