Re: Another Site with A similar Problem to Amazon

the below is a good, practical suggestion.  But I feel I ought to repeat 
that Freedom Scientific has been made very much aware of this issue, and 
their spokesman, Eric Damery, has announced on the Jaws Lite mailing list 
that the development staff at FS is already working on it.  Now, some may 
not trust Eric to be telling the truth, or the FS programmers to actually be 
at work on it, in which case, I don't know what to say.  but that's what 
they themselves have said to us, their customers, publicly.

Bruce and others:
  Speaking as a developer for the Government I suggest you document this and
send it to Freedom Scientific.  I stress Document this because A phone call
leaves no paper trail.  There is a link for tech support on Freedom's site.
Send a message.

If you want proof that the situation with amazon.com is one which will be
cropping up more and more, here's some. Go to

http://tv.yahoo.ca

Then use your JAWS find to look for "personalized listings".

Hit enter on this link. What you're *supposed* to get is a "choose your
location" page. Like the Amazon page, you don't. Like the Amazon page,
this works fine in Window-Eyes, but does not work for JAWS. I cannot say
whether it works with Firefox, as I do not have it.

Whatever has been done to the HTML, this will become more common, not
less. One screen reader can handle it, it's important that the other can
as well.
