Accessibility problem on Blueprint form

Hi Curtis,

Jaws is not able to handle that.

It is a very nice feature though. I wish I had it for selecting mailboxes
and in a bunch of other places.

I do not have an answer for you, but it would be a shame to take it out or
to create  a separate form that is fully accessible.  Separate forms end up
being forgotten when updates are made, etc. Separate is never equal.

Can there be a conventional drop-down near the fancy one that defaults to
"Project selection box for users with Javascript turned off".  That way most
people use the nicer one and only a few use the simple one.

I realize it is not terribly elegant.  The standard box could also have
equal font and background colors, so that only those using screen readers
see it.

Running out of ideas here.

Having said all that, a separate form just for those needing standard HTML
is still better than having to ask for help to do something simple like
this.

Thanks,

Fernando
