[bcab] Re: Query as to whether a site is accessible?

Thanks Iain,

I must admit I hadn't thought of trying the space bar on these graphics.  I did 
try pressing enter, JAWS click or using the cursor routing buttons on my 
Braille display, but none of these worked.

Even so, I don't find this page very intuitive as its not clear if you have 
actually selected something.

You need to down arrow and press the spacebar on the box you want to select.
You then need to arrow down to select your delivery day. You can then tab to 
"continue". The boxes and days are described by JAWS as graphics. I am using 
JAWS 10 and Internet Explorer 8.
