Reply with quote Hello All

i have a text images as background for a div. On click of div i open a tipper. Now when i open jaws reader i had to click alt + enter. Is there any way to let the user knw to press alt + enter. Do we have any attribute that i can specify in <div> which is read only by jaws reader and let the user know the press alt +enter
Reply with quote Sounds to me like the question is incorrect but here goes:

You can hide a piece of text from the visual user so only the VI software will announce it.

Code:
<style>
  .container {position:relative}
  .hide {position:absolute; top:0; left:-200em;}
</style>

<div class="container">
  <p class="hide">Only screen-reader software will announce this text.</p>
  <p>All users will see or hear this text.</p>
</div>

Reply with quote If you're using HTML 5, you might want to play around with this idea.

If you use a <figure> tag with a title attribute, JAWS will read the title text.

For example:
<figure title="This is my background image text"></figure>

Semantically, this seems to make sense, although you are not using an <img> tag within the figure tag so I'm not 100% sure if that will validate correctly. Keep in mind that the figure tag is a block element so it would have to be styled for placement/padding/margin.

Any feedback to this suggestion is welcome, as this was just an idea that seemed to work, but I've never actually used this solution in practice.
