This issue should be reaised with FS. I tried it with JAWS 7, same problem
as Chris. I tried it with WE 5.5, no problem.

Since I do a ton of shopping on Amazon, especially around the holidays, I was concerned when I saw this thread.
Just now, using Jaws 5.10, I seemed to have no difficulty finding detailed information about a Mac Mini apple computer.
All of the Amazon pages came up with the information that I had requested, and things seemed to behave normally.I will sure try this with Jaws 6.0.

chris,
Doesn't look like it's just a Jaws 7 issue. I'm using v. 6.2, and something similar happens now (I was there just yesterday and everything was normal). I did a search for a particular book title that I know they carry. When the search results page loaded, I did a firtual Find for the word "sort," which takes me to the "sort by" combo box just before the listed results begin.
I arrowed down a few lines and found the linked book title.
I clicked on it and the page I got was nothing but the usual global nvavigational links plus a set of links and a combo box dedicated to something to do with finding gifts. It wasn't about gift *certificates,* if that's what you got. But it was equally wrong. The title of the book I used for the search was nowhere on the page. I arrowed down through it very carefully.
By the ay, in case you need it, the customer service number I've always used when necessary, and the only one I know about, is (800) 201-7575

Hi folks
From the looks of things here, Amazon.com, one of my favorite sites on the net, no longer works with JAWS 7.0. You click on a link to take you to the information page for a specific product, but instead you are taken to a page to buy a gift certificate. From what I'm told, they made some kind of visual change to the site using javascript. It looks more visually pleasing, but JAWS doesn't display the page properly. so you press enter on a link thinking you'll land on one thing but you land on another. So I'm going to call the customer service line on Monday because even i, a pretty compident JAWS user, couldn't find the contact us link. Well, i found the link but not the right page. Really frustrating. If anyone else has had a similar problem, or if you give the site aa try and experience the same problem, I'd like to know. This way i'll have as much information as possible when I make my call. Thanks.
