Re: [orca-list] Your opinion on radio button and check box presentation?

Maybe I misunderstand something here, but it seems sensible to use checked
for chekboxes and selected for radio buttons.

Hi,
I would like it to be element name followed by state, radiobutton
checked/unchecked. I think both checkbox and radiobuttons should report as
checked/unchecked. Selected seems like it would have more to do with text
and cut/paste. Also, checked and unchecked have fewer sylables than selected
and unselected so would take slightly less time to read thereby increasing
speed at which information is delivered to the user.
Lol... maybe I'm being too technical?
Thanks
Storm
