yes Tom I agree;

if you press insert+f5, you'll see 6 form fields,
however, they're not tagged,
so, one would need to first look at the order, before pressing insert+f5,

surely not a accessible form for sure.

  there is one more field and that is the security question field, 
  where is it, which one is it.  This is a really bad form.  We can hold it up 
and wave it about on how not to code a webform.

  hello there;

  well, after each star clickable, there's and edit field, which can be 
accessed with forms mode.

  the first edit is,

  email address,

  then password, then confirm,

  and date of birth.

    Seems like a completely JAVA-based input form. I for one can't make it 
work. Any others figure it out? Using the JAWS cursor to navigate and click on 
the edit field does not seem to activate them.

      Here is the page:
      
https://postgrad.warwick.ac.uk/SWIFT.web/skins/pgapp/initiator/registration.aspx?FolderID=0000000000000000000000002235119

      please also note that the text boxes in the page are unlabeled. When I 
tab around them, I only hear "edit", and not what to edit. The remarks 
describing the text boxes are stuffed at the top. Any idea on what I can do?

        Good morning,

         

        Two thoughts:

         

        First, as per Adrian's suggestion, please pass along a link to one of 
these pages.

         

        Second, I suspect it might be a graphical link of some sort.  Do you 
have a mouse attached and have you tried to perform a mouse click with the 
mouse rather than a Jaws Keystroke?  I seem to recall encountering a few 
instances over the years where for some reason the actual mouse performed where 
Jaws failed to do so.  

         

        Cordially,
        Richard P. Kelly

        Hi folks,

        I sometimes encounter some element in a web page, for example a line of 
text, a graphic or etc, that Jaws appends a "clickable" word to the end of what 
it says. What is it? is the element akind of link? It appears to me that the 
element is not connected to a link; when I press space or left click on it 
nothing happens!

        I got stuck in an inaccessible web page with a lot of such elements.

        Cheers!

        Hamid
