Screen Reader and Sharepoint Lists

[Sailias]

I am creating a custom list that will be read by a screen reader (ie. JAWS). When adding an item to the list, the ListField has a build in tooltip, or alt tag, similar to the alt tag for the ImageViewer webpart.

The problem is that the screen reader reads the title, then the alt tag (which is the same as the title), then prompts for an input.

I am searching for a way to disable the tooltip for the Listfield so that only the title is read by the screen reader, followed by a prompt.

I have tried finding the code via Frontpage without success. Any help would be greatly apprieciated.

I found a solution for the problem.

Solution:

</BODY>
<script>
var temp=document.getElementById("urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice#NameofItem");
temp.removeAttribute("title");
</script>
</HTML>

New Problem:

I've used the script listed about to remove the "title" attribute from an input box on a New Item form for a list.

The problem i'm having now is that I cannot seem to remove the title attribute from a choicefield such as a radio button.

The method getElementbyID doesn't point to the members of the choicefield.
Eg. Have you used Sharepoint before? Yes/No
--where Yes/No are separate radio buttons and the name of the item is SP_Radiochoice

I'm thinking I could use a name such as SP_Radiochoice::Yes or SP_Radiochoice::No to point to the members of the SP_Radiochoice object. Then use the removeattribute method to remove the title in the same way as the working code listed above. Unfortunately i cannot. Any thoughts?
