Hi Darren

I've had the same problem this week with the second combo box on the Lotto
page. It just seemed blank with no choice of number of weeks at all. Like
you I'm using IE 10. My sighted daughter was in at the time and said the box
looked to be obscured by another part of the page.  I had no problem at all
when we tried with a netbook using IE9. So, think this might be a browser
issue?

IE10, Win7 64bit and JAWS 13, 14 and NVDA. Anyone else having this problem?

Perhaps we should contact the National Lottery bods?

Hi Darren,

 

Just done my lottery entry for tomorrow's draw without any problem.  I was
able to select Saturday's draw for just 1 week.

 

JAWS announces that the "number of weeks" is a combo box so when you get to
that point press the Alt key with the Down arrow to see if it allows you to
select just 1 week that way.

Hi List.

 

Its been a good while since I last bought a lotto ticket from the NL site,
something that was always easy to do. I have however hit upon a problem
today.

 

I wanted to buy a single ticket for tomorrow's Lotto draw, so I selected
Saturday from the first combo box in the process, I then couldn't select 1
from the next combo box to indicate the number of weeks I was buying a
ticket for! I could only move through in even number choices, 2, 4 6 or
eight weeks. I simply couldn't select any odd number option.

 

I'm using IE 10 and tried this with both JAWS 14 and NVDA. 

 

Does anyone else ever buy tickets from the online lottery site? Is this a
new problem, or am I missing some little piece of navigational
jiggery-pokery to get this thing to work?

 

Regards.

 

Darran
