Hi Jamie,
Unfortunately your suggestion didn't work, I already had JAWS set to
read everything.
I loaded a copy of NVDA to see if that was any better,butit was worse.
I think its a case of going back to the developers and chasing them for
a fix to the problem with these particular tabs.
thanks for your suggestion.
Gary
