This one is for Nelson and those interested in mouse over:



Visually speaking here:



As a sighted person like myself moves the mouse pointer across the screen
the mouse pointer changes shape depending on the type of text encountered.
The pointer may be in the shape of an arrowhead but as it moves across text
the pointer may change to an I beam. As the mouse pointer moves across
hypertext or and active button the pointer will change into a pointing fist.
That is make a fist with your index finger NOT YOUR MIDDOE finger extended.



Any web programmer worth their salt would add alt text to the mutton to tell
a person using a screen reader the function of the button. .



Hope this helps
