Hi Darren,
I know you weren't crying inaccessibility, but I have seen threats of the
RNIB and our MPs on here. I am just saying in general, not to you
personally, that a little study is in order, before we get heavy-handed with
web developers. Window-Eyes and JAWS, in particular, are very good on the
web, and many web sites are accessible with them, if you know their
commands.
All the best
Steve

Steve, I wasn't crying "inaccessibility".
I was in fact saying I use Maplin quite successfully with JAWS. What I had
to get used to was the fact that after hitting E for that edit field, a
screen reader command I knew by the way, JAWS says
"Keep up to date with our promotions, simply drag or paste this link into
your reader".
That's what was throwing me to begin with, nothing else!

| Hi Darren,
|
| To hit the search edit field in JAWS, just hit E. That jumps you to the
| next edit box, wherever it is. I think most of it is knowing your screen
| reader. I have said this before, and I'll say it again. We have to be
| careful when we cry inaccessibility, if we don't know our screen readers.
| Yes, I agree that Maplin is busy with loads of offers and stuff, which
makes
| it pretty cluttered, but inaccessible, no.

| All the best

|
| The one thing I did have a problem with recently, after their site
changes,

|
| What specifically are people having problems with on Maplin's site?
