Hello Vince,

I've been testing a bit more now. IN fact, I can view the bidding and description linked pages if I use NVDA, so it's not just an Ebay issue but also a JAWS problem.

You can get the same sort of problem uploading videos to YouTube. The only thing I can guess at is that you could maybe turn off the screen reader's ability to read dynamic content. You might want to turn it on for pages that update in a sensible way. Don't know how you'd achieve this in JAWS, sorry.

    Hello All,

    I've just encountered yet another new Ebay progblem. For some time
    now Ebay have been implimenting time and bidding flash on and off
    type messages when an auction is near its end which causes JAWS 11
    to stammer and repeat this over and over again, stopping you from
    being able to hear information on screen.

    However, now there is a new and greater problem. I am constantly
getting messages of this type, making JAWS stammer repeatedly and unstoppably, something about "Allert! waht's a max bid". I can
    find no way of stopping this. It seems to come in as you get part
    way down the page, e.g. when moving to look at the description of
    a lot for sale. At this point you can do nothing, as far as I can
    make out.

    I am using XP with JAWS 11 and IE8. I have popup blocker turned on
    in IE.

    Has anyone found out a way to stop this, either permanently or as
    soon as it starts on each page?

    What does anyone think and are you also getting this problem?

    John.
