Hi all,

I thought it was time to ask a question that actually related to programming, so here is something that I have not quite understood: what is a tab group? I see them in html and in GUI languages, but I am not sure what good they are.

My second, nearly unrelated question: how, in a gui, does jaws know what to call, say, an edit box? If you had a timer, how would you code the gui to queue jaws to prompt for hours, minutes, and seconds in the correct fields? Is this all labels? If so, how important is the format of the gui; that is, how exact do you have to be in positioning the labels and inputs so that jaws can know what label goes with what input?


Have a great day,
Alex
