Re: [wtp-dev] Screen readers and description labels vs. text areas

There is some information on this here:

If you set the Text widget to be read-only,
it *should* have the same color as the background as far as I know.

Subject	[wtp-dev] Screen readers and description labels vs. text areas

I am doing some clean up on UI. We have heard
rumors that descriptions that should be picked up by alternative screen
readers should be contained in a text area. Unfortunately, this sets up
a
background problem where the description gets a different background than
the rest of the composite.
 
Do text areas need to be used for alternative
screen readers to find descriptions?
 
I would like to fix this problem by using
a simple Label instead. Will that be picked up by alternative screen readers?
 
Thanks,
David Gorton
