Hello,
Alt attribute is used to provide text content for non textual objects such as graphics. For labeling interactive controls there is a label element with appropriate for attribute and correct labelled-by property on an input element.
For giving definite answer to your question I'd like to see an example or a real form on the web.
Greetings
Peter
I don't know what "positioned correctly" means. An alt tag is just a tag witin the code for a form control. Like alt="phone number".

Are the alt tags positioned correctly on the form? If the orientation of those tags are wrong you will have no speech on many different screen readers not just orca. I found this out when I used to work for the Navy.

Subject: [orca-list] Orca and alt text for a web control
Orca seems to ignore alt text for fields on a web form. Is that deliberate? Isn't that still the preferred way to have a screen reader describe a data entry field when a user tabs into it?
