RE: [wtp-dev] Screen readers and description labels vs. text areas

As a way of introduction, please welcome Dave Gorton who recently joined BEA’s WTP team. Dave is getting his feet wet in the code base by tackling the bug backlog and already has several patches under his belt. We expect him to be an important contributor to the 2.0 release.

 

Thanks,

Subject: [wtp-dev] Screen readers and description labels vs. text areas

 

I am doing some clean up on UI. We have heard rumors that descriptions that should be picked up by alternative screen readers should be contained in a text area. Unfortunately, this sets up a background problem where the description gets a different background than the rest of the composite.

 

Do text areas need to be used for alternative screen readers to find descriptions?

 

I would like to fix this problem by using a simple Label instead. Will that be picked up by alternative screen readers?

 

Thanks,

David Gorton
