    [kevinchao89] Great timing/discussion re: removing bullets with list-style: none, as they can be distracting with screen reader

    @kevinchao89 I'm not sure anyone is suggesting removing bullets from lists if there are bullets on the screen. I think we are discussing the best ways to remove them when there is a list-type structure where there are no bullets shown on the screen.

    Is anyone using this add-on for Firefox? Is it any good? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ainspector-sidebar/

    Why does NVDA say "has autocomplete" for pretty much all input fields? Anyone know what that is referring to?

    @FionaTG by default, in firefox at least, text inputs expose an iAccessible2 API state of 'supports autocomplete' NVDA chooses to announce this state to the user

    @sophieschoice ainspector has a solid, if not at times, overly strict ruleset http://oaa-accessibility.org/rulesets/ it is an open source tool developed by some cluey people

    The results from my own website are less worse then I expected: 6 violations, 1 warning, 32 manual checks and 17 passes. Whew!
