[Nfb-web] FW: Notes from last meeting and Webmasters Meeting Agenda

[Littlefield, Tyler]

Brian,
I run into almost on a daily bases specific issues with some form 
controls. I think steve has already made this point, but it's really 
important because sometimes someone might test something in FF and it 
won't be accessible anywhere else. I have a specific site I need to use 
at work and I use all three browsers to access it because there are some 
tasks I can't do with one I can do with another while keeping the screen 
reader the same. I can try to look at the theme as well and perhaps make 
some updates to it if that would help anyone.

Thanks,

There seem to be more and more cases where certain combinations of screen readers and web browsers work differently, and where possible, we need to hold screen reader developers accountable when appropriate.
