Hi Darren,
I don't remember seeing a response to this one. I don't think there's
really an answer. My usual summary of a web page requiring drag and
drop functionality, is that it isn't accessible to users of screen
readers. You might find that your chances of it working are improved if
you switch off the Virtual Cursor mode by hitting JAWS-key + z. I
haven't tried this, and it may not make any difference. I'd be
interested to know if you do manage to get this sorted out, as I'd have
to change my views on dragging and dropping on websites.
Regards,
Tim Pennick

Hi list.
here's the scenario that needs solving.
In a web application, you have to reorder your navigation links by
clicking on the navbar item you want to move and dragging it to where
you want it to be.
I believe this is done on the server using either Javascript or Ajax.
I've managed to fluke the reordering once using the Jaws drag and drop
function so I know it works, but can't seem to replicate it.
What is the correct procedure for dragging items in this way?
Many thanks in advance
Using jaws 9 latest version BTW.
cheers
Darren
