[Athen] webpage coding question

[Greg Kraus]

Hi Teresa,

I would first check if the combinations of JAWS with Firefox and NVDA with
Firefox give you the same results. Depending on the version of JAWS and IE
and the particular elements that might be parent elements of the headings,
that might be the source of the problem. If both JAWS and NVDA work with
Firefox, then you can start looking at potential JAWS-IE conflicts.
