I have a FAQ page set up which displays the questions/answers using the "questions on top" layout. Using this, a strange anomaly has emmerged when testing using the JAWS screenreader. A screenreader is a device which enables blind users to access computer-resources.

In effect, prior to each answer, the named anchor seems to have a "href" attribute set. The screenreader is picking this up and speaking it. Is there any way the "href" could be removed?

The example faq can be viewed at:
www.computing.dcu.ie/~dfitzpat/faq

If you view the source, you'll see the "~dfitzpat" before all answers.

Thanks much,

Dónal
