[bcab] Re: New TV licensing website is broken for screen reader users?

I've since looked at them too.  I certainly couldn't get them to work either.  
Its worrying as I've seen this type of drop down appearing in a system I have 
to use at work and haven't found a way around it yet.

Has anyone else had a chance to look?  They don't show as a combo box but as a 
read only edit field.  If you press enter on it it opens up a drop down list 
below of the options to choose, but I haven't yet been able to select one by 
using either the enter key, JAWS left click, or by clicking with the cursor 
routing buttons on my Braille display.

The contact us and tv licence amendment portions of the site are where I found 
these.

Hi Martin,

Which area of the site are you finding these drop down lists?

The home page looks fine but doesn't have any drop downs.

        HI all.

        sorry for the cross posting.

        is the new UK TV licensing website broken for screen reader users?

        using jaws for windows v11, and v 10, drop down lists don't work.
Nor do they with System access latest version which is  "System Access 3.0.155".

        any thoughts?



        go to:
