Pete,
After a quick look, the problem appears to be the JavaScript used on
the page. Jaws now reacts to JavaScript very accurately, interpreting =
the
code as the web designer intended.
Unfortunately, in this case the web designer has used a popup script
which is, I presume, intended to hide or display content based on some
action, possibly the selection of a link. I copied the code from the =
page
and removed the JavaScript from above the navigation and it then works
equally well in Jaws 7.0 and 8.0.
To answer your question, Freedom Scientific shouldn't have to do
anything to make web sites more accessible. For the most part that is up =
to
the person who developed the web site. I'd suggest contacting them and
letting them know about accessible web site design.
I can't comment on whether Sight and Sound would give you your money
back, but as I say, the problem effectively lies with the web site, not
Jaws. Jaws is just interpreting the code of the web site properly, where =
as
it used not to do so.

Leonie,
Thanks for clarifying my question, so the next question is, what does FS
intend to do to make websites such as this accessible to us again? I am
dissatisfied with version 8 as I cannot access some of my favourite =
sites
while using it, and I have been forced to return to an older version to
carry out these tasks. Since this version is not fulfilling my =
requirements,
could I claim a refund from Sight & Sound as I find it not to be of
merchantable quality?
Regards,
Pete H.
