Hi Everett,
No I haven't tried Firebug. The application is optimized for IE, but that
doesn't mean that it might not work. I'll try to learn enough about Firebug to
check it out.

Jim,
Have you tried using Firebug to identify the style / classes applied to the
element when it is not performing as you would like? Firebug is a bit of a
pain to get your head around, but it is a very powerful DOM inspection tool.

Hey,
JAWS 11 will honour both display: none and visibility: hidden. Because
screen-readers do honour these CSS properties it then actually becomes tricky
to find a way to design a CSS class that will hide information visually but
keep it available for screen-readers.

Hi,
I'm not actually sure that the code works correctly. It's generated by a huge
application that's like a black box.

It works for me here, are you sure you are selecting the right part of the page
and that the code works correctly?
HTH, D!J!X!

Hi,
This question involves JAWS 11.
It seems like JAWS is not honoring display:none in a style sheet on the web. My
question is: how does it treat display:none and how does it treat
display:hidden? It seems like it's allowing things to display even though the
CSS has display:none.
Thanks.
