Description Greg Kearney 2008-05-15 20:05:12 PDT 
This bug is of critical importance to blind users. When interacting with the above page or any page with similar form controls the select boxes are invisible with VoiceOVer they can neither be read or interacted with.

This bug was introduced with WebKit/Safari 3 I can not over state the CRITICAL nature of this bug. It prevents the blind and print disabled from being able to interact with many web form including those on job related sites. The example above is a page designed for the blind and is unable to be be used by the blind because of this bug. PLease feel free to contact me at any time about this matter. It is preventing the use of the web by people it must be address as quickly as is possible.
