[bcab] Re: Jaws stops working when I do a Google search

It's messy, but it can be done.  Once you have tabbed to
"more", press Enter, and the list drops down.  Press Tab,
and you will find you are back on the "Web" link,  Tab 5 or
6 times more until you hear "more".  Tab again and you will
find you are now in the list under "more".  Tab or Shift tab
in the list and press Enter when you hear your choice.

Someone has certainly mad a mess of coding that page.

George.

No I didn't!  I got that point, and appreciate that with no
screen reader, the button can be tabbed 
to and then Enter pressed on it and it opens.   However,
unless I am wrong, once it is open, you can 
NOT then get to the choices on the menu, via the keyboard.
Either with a screen reader or without.

Sorry for the crossed line & not explaining better.  Leon

Hi Leon,

I think you missed my point.  WITHOUT a screen reader, I can
press the tab key to navigate to that menu.  I am NOT using
my mouse at all.

Aha, but George, try using the keyboard to get down that
menu.  Any luck?  I can't even get it work
with the keyboard using SATOGO, so it must be really bad.
Definitely designed by and for mouse
users.  Leon

Hi Leon,

> But worse than that, on the standard home page they have a
got a link called "More" which is a web 2.0 control NOT
navigable by keyboard,

Interesting, because it is accessible without JAWS when
running IE7.  You can simply tab to it, and press Enter,
whereupon a navigable menu drops down.
