It may not be designed by CV Library, but nevertheless they are using an
inaccessible feature. There's no option whatsoever indicated on how to use
that slider other than with a mouse.

Thanks George, but the part that's inaccessible is not designed by CV library.
As you may have noticed, the part where one needs to register is in a frame,
which is from another website. CV library just advertised that particular job,
but the part of the site that's inaccessible comes from another domain. I will
contact the company in question, I was just really curious what this is and
wanted to make sure that there was not something I could perhaps do that wasn't
obvious to me. Thanks for your help though.

That looks like a device used to weed out"bots" but has the unfortunate side
effect of reducing accessibility. one method these people could use is to add
code to the sliding arrow so that its purpose is confirmed when a mouse hovers
over it.( ofter all isn't html5 supposed to address the accesssibilty issue? )

OK this is a totally new one on me. I don't know if this is a replacement of a
dreaded visual verification, you know "please type characters in the picture"
type thing and if so, it's totally inaccessible. Hell I don't even think things
like webvism can help with this. It is a job application, but in order to even
fill the application in, one needs to register. In order to register
aparrently one is supposed to unlock/"move slider to the right". I have never
ever seen this before. Am I missing something or is this really totally
inaccessible?

I wonder if some sort of legal action can be brought against these people as
surely they are not giving an equal opportunity of employment. Obviously I will
contact them first and see if this can be resolved but I want to confirm that
I'm not missing potential way of fixing this issue myself.
