Re: [orca-list] in need of c++ code to add accessible labels

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Don't be discouraged. The fact that you already know a smattering ofC/C++ Will give you a clue to how 
JavaScript is put together since it uses exactly the same syntax. It should be reasonably possible for you to 
try and find some of those classes. And some of the places in the classes were the label goes. You may find 
that you are able to get on more than you think. I had to browse through some JavaScript code when I was 
designing some training courses because of an API that a lot of e-learning use is calledScorm and it was 
pretty neat how, though I could not write this kind of code myself, I can fairly easily make out what they 
were going for just because of the fact that I had studied C and C++ A little bit Wayback win.
