Good morning,
It is really exciting to hear that that company is willing to work with the web developer to make the site more accessible. Good work brining this to their attention.

I mean the company in South Africa who cells Freedom Scientific’s products; who gives training; who works with companies to make the computer environment accessible for their blind Jaws users.

Good morning,

Very interesting.  By JAWS providers do you mean Freedom Scientific?

Thanks,
Everett

I don’t know, but this was the advice the Jaws providers gave and they are willing to assist in adding the title tags.

Good evening,
Just wondering how adding a title tag to an inaccessible popup menu will fix anything? Will the tag say "Hey, this menu is inaccessible, don't try to use it if you're blind."? 

Just curious

                Hi All
We are going to approach the web developer to change/improve the sight.
One way apparently would be to add title tags when a mouse over leads to a popup menu (which on the problem site, then is not labled and thus cannot be detected by Jaws).
