Really?

How does the blind via readers, such as JAWS, understand what a <B> is?

First, never use <B> -- or <I> for that matter.

Second, use <strong> or <em> instead. Readers can understand and render STRONG and EMPHASIZED text, but not <B> and <I> text -- those tags mean nothing and that's the reason why they are not encouraged for use and even removed from XHTML.

Third, if neither of those tags (i.e., <strong> or <em> ) work for you, they try using a class (or an id) with a css rule of:

.whatever
   {
    font-weight: bold;
   }

or

#whatever
   {
    font-weight: bold;
   }

Cheers,
