FLUID-2399: Determine the best way to label groups of elements

Description

Currently this issue is that we have something like this

Links: [ ] Underline [ ] Bold [ ] Larger

The labels for the checkboxes are Underline, Bold, and Larger, but out of the context of links they don't seem to mean much.

One suggestion is to use fieldsets and legend

Environments

FF3 / Win XP
IE 7 / Win XP

  FF3:
  JAWS does not read the label associated with radio buttons and checkboxes.
  E.g.: for the path Easier to find > Links > underline option

  JAWS reads
  "Easier to find" & "underline checkbox not checked"

  IE 7: JAWS reads "underline checkbox not checked"

  In both cases the label "links" is not read so it is not explicit what the checkbox refers to.

  Here is a patch implementing fieldset & legend tags.

  This patch was committed by Michelle. The behaviour has changed in that now JAWS reads "Links, Easier to find, underline checkbox not checked", etc giving context for checkbox options.

  This isnt quite valid HTML, i think we need another solution

  I have closed this issue because it duplicates FLUID-2741.
