hi,
Google Docs is working fine for me. you must always use jaws cursor to click
something, jaws will not announce those links. google
docs is build with AJAX, therefore while you click on the link in jaws cursor,
the page has change but it wont load. lots of screen
reader user having trouble with AJAX type of homepage.

Subject: JAWS and Google docs spreadsheets
Howdy,
I'm hoping some folks can help me out here, because we're running into a snag.
I belong to a concert committee here in Seattle that has begun using the
following link, which is essentially the google documents
feature.
http://docs.google.com
With this, we can all edit both word files that are uploaded and also use a
feature that is an online spreadsheet. It is supposed
to allow us to update concert information and things along that line.
Visually, it acts like Excel would. However, I can not get
it to work well with JAWS. Come to think of it, I can't get it to work at all
with JAWS, and whatever it does read, it is minimal.
I had a sighted friend of mine helping me earlier, and he was saying that there
was a disconnect regarding what JAWS was reading and
the actual location of the cursor. They weren't in synch.
Since then, we've created another document that we can test out (for whoever
would like to try it) using a gmail account I created.
Has anyone used this, and can anyone help me with any pointers? We spent hours
doing it and came up with hardly anything. We tried
seeing if it was indeed like using Excel, and Dennis noticed that JAWS worked
well with Excel but when it was online, in that
particular spreadsheet application, it wasn't doing much.
So, who's up for the challenge? Let me know and I'll give you the necessary
information to log on and look at the spreadsheet with
google.
Thanks!
Jim
