[access-uk] Re: Need a link please

i have never had any problems playing stuff on You Tube at all, but i am 
running Zoom Text and couldn't run Your Tube when I was using Supernova so 
different access technology may interact differently with that particular site.

  Well I opened IE and went into Youtube and everything played.  I do notice 
the words "imbedded media" so maybe I need to get some of the FF plugins.  I 
didn't bother getting any, as I didn't know what i'd need.

    That's the same with me and I've been wondering about that. I haven't 
updated Adobe, but youtube still works fine with Mozila, but not IE. Weird.

      It is the reverse with me.  I can play youtube items using firefox but 
not withinternet explorer.

        I'm using FF as I've set webvisum to automatically open, and I'm 
captcha solving every day.  Other than that, ff works well for me really.  I 
don't think it's any faster than ie 7 though, and like you Carol I didn't 
really want to change either.  The only tiny issue is that when I log into my 
account (BT) Jaws doesn't read the password box, and the cursor doesn't drop 
into it either.  I just press down arrow once to overcome this.  No other 
issues as yet, though I was managing to play Youtube videos just fine through 
IE and now I can't through FF.  It says that either Javascript is disabled, 
(which it is not) or I need to update Flash, (which may be true).  Not sure 
what the truth is there.  Might have to use IE to see what happens.

        Jill.

          Well, some say that there are problems with certain pages ... but I 
certainly ffind the page layout not so clear as with IE.

          It's true, I haven't used it a great deal but IE does all I want it 
to do and I didn't really want to change, so I suppose that's my preference.
