Amie, there are a few things I would suggest doing when it comes to web
accessibility and twitter.
Firstly, on the main site, the button to follow someone is inaccessible as
far as I can tell. The word follow is there but it does not look like a
button and pressing enter or space on it does not follow someone.
One option is to try the mobile twitter site which is http://m.twitter.com
which seems to do all I need it to do. There is also an accessible twitter
website which is at
http://www.easychirp.com
You log into twitter and then you can use things like h to move between
headings.
Once you have authorised easychirp once you just need to click sign in and
press enter on the authorise account button which you can get to with b
(JAWS quick key stroke for next button).
Then you have each tweet starting with a level 3 heading so you can press
number 3 or shift 3 to move forwards or backwards between tweets.
I won't get the smarties I know but parts of the twitter main site just seem
to be inaccessible hence the alternatives.
Regards
Graham

Subject: [jaws-uk] Twitter again
Hi list
Am still wading through the twitter treacle...
I have Qube installed but haven't actually got it working with Twitter yet;
tips welcomed.
I've been using the main site, straight, though, and discovered this morning
that it sometimes gives accessible buttons to reply or retweet.
Wondering, can anyone tell me why these buttons are sometimes there and
accessible, but mostly not, and how can I command them to appear, when they
don't? Can I summon them up in some way?
Failing that, the first person to tell me how to use the basic retweet,
reply and message functions, by any means at all, gets smarties.
Yes, I've read the Qube help and noted the keystroke to retweet. Don't know
how to get Qube active though; I installed and ran it, and there it sits,
doing jack as far as I can tell.
Likewise, the Twitter site suddenly presented me with a list of keystroke
commands this morning but, when I hit T to retweet, as per the list (and no
I have no idea how or why the list suddenly appeared) all I get is JAWS
saying "No tables on this page".
Bloomin' marvellous eh?
Anyone help at all?
Johny clearly knows all things; I'm sitting here, head in hands, watching
him mastering twitter tech' like it's breathing.
At least I know it's doable :o)
Anyone unconfused me?
