Maybe one for Tink, and knowledgeable web designers, and I've brought this up 
on the Window-Eyes list and it seems the problem I have with a website is 
down to a duff design error, although probably one designed and written in to 
help us, apparently!

Go to:

www.workdirections.co.uk

Very likely when the screen is read to you you will hear the word 
'transparent being read all over the place.  I'd like JFW and Dolphin users 
to confirm this - or otherwise.  The explanation seems to be around an issue 
with Active X or 'on clicks' -being labelled for our benefit but - my 
knowledge is virtually non-existent around these subjects.

So I would be glad if some here would confirm whether this is a problem for 
them or not.  When I'm more certain of my ground I can contact the web 
master.  Seems a shame because, on the face of it, it seems they've made an 
attempt at accessibility.
