Re: Impossible Web Site

Thanks Gary & Alan,  I'll at least have some things to tell/show my student 
tomorrow.  It's really bad when your JAWS student ask for help on a site and 
you have even less success than the student!  I've been checking it some more 
and although I can now get somethings to happen on screen, it is still sluggish 
and the results of mouse simulation are inconsistent.  Perhaps my 800MB ram is 
just inadequate for this one.  It is interesting that there are such huge 
discrepancies in what users were able to access on this page.  I would never 
have believed it possible.  Gary, I'm glad to hear that WindowEyes couldn't do 
any better with it.

Alan,
 
Although I didn't try it on this site, this method would probably work to reach 
other pages.  However, when you do get to another page on the site by whatever 
method, you just end up with more flash objects.  On the other pages, these are 
buttons on which you can use the spacebar to make a selection.  By the time you 
find a vehicle to purchase searching on this site, you could have traveled to 
Nashville from Memphis or Knoxville and visited the dealer in person.

Cher,
 
You asked:
"So, do you think that that one page is all there is and that you can't
link to pre-owned or new or any words on the screen?  We tried
simulating mouse actions with the JAWS cursor, but that did not work
either.  Sometimes we could see the content in the main frame, but
sometimes it was empty."
 
You may be able to use Google to reach other pages at that auto dealer's web 
site. To tell Google to search for key words or phrases at that web site, you 
need to use the "site:" command in the Google search field, followed by the 
Internet address, and then the key word or phrase. Here's an example:
 
site:rivergatetoyota.com pre-owned
 
The above command would look for any occurrence of "pre-owned" in any of the 
pages at that Internet address, and then you can click on any of the results 
and go to that page, bypassing that troublesome start page.
 
Alan
