Has anyone tried the check out form while using JAWS or NVDA? I’m interested to know how their labels, tooltips, etc, affect usability for impaired users.

As to the tabs within the payment section, it seems that the more conventional choice of radio buttons would work here. Besides being easily understood there would be a better use of space on the form. Having the Copy Shipping Address as a link instead of a check box also is not following the usual UI convention. Not that every convention needs to be followed, but there seems to be no value in both of these instances in changing from the convention. Lastly, the headers for each accordion pane were not clear to me that those were individual panes until after one was finished and changed color. It also seems like it would make more sense to have the contents of the cart at the top for easy reference. Although, I can see why it was put at the bottom of the accordion as well.
