"There is no drop down box with the departments listed in it any more - not in 
a screenreader friendly form anyway."

Just visited the Amazon UK site and the drop down box is there and usable with 
Jaws 11 alright.

"Also, the department links on the website itself have been altered and - in 
that way jaws has taken to doing of late - it doesn't indicate that it's a link 
or that it's clickable..."

  Yes, same here. Jaws 11 doesn't see them as links any more though it reads 
them ok. I tried clicking the departments links anyway and some of them 
expanded alright others just sent me to another random part of the page. So I 
agree they are not accessible.

  Just thought I'd post my findings.

  Cheers,
  Amro

  I have logged in to www.amazon.co.uk and the dropdown list is definitely 
there.

  HI Andrew. 

  There is no drop down box with the departments listed in it any more - not in 
a screenreader friendly form anyway. 

  Also, the department links on the website itself have been altered and - in 
that way jaws has taken to doing of late - it doesn't indicate that it's a link 
or that it's clickable and so I am guessing it's some kind of java generated 
link. So definitely less accessible on that front too. 

  So I'm storing up my findings and intend to email amazon ... unless someone 
can tell me there's a way round it or that I'm using my screenreader like a 
bozo.

  Thanks

    I've not noticed any difference in the Amazon site.  I've just loged onto 
it and the search area on the home page doesn't look any different to me.

    Yes, have not really worked it out as yet.  I have to search under all 
departments, but it seems to work well enough.  sometimes I get the webpage 
cannot be displayed message.

     

    If anyone finds a work around please let us know.

    Is anyone else having a few difficulties with the new re-imagined Amazon 
home page and search? 

     

    How do you choose which department you search now? It seems screenreader 
unfriendly.
