Hi Brian,
I have two things to say about this bit of code. First of all, totally get rid 
of the tab index attribute. Second of all, you have potentially inaccessible 
code, because you need to put a label tag around each field label, and use the 
for attribute to associate that piece of text with the id attributes of each 
check box. In other words, you do something like <label for = 
"jaws">JAWS</label> and so on.

hi,

can someone spot why the text for the first five checkboxes seems to be 
invisible and the three at the end are spoken?
thanks.
