Hi Gillian!
If you use the text only version of Amazon I don't think these problems occur!
Give it a try and see if this helps!Cheers!

Subject: [jaws-uk] jaws and some websites
Hi.
hoping an experienced website user/programmer and jaws user can maybe explain
something. apologies if this has been asked before.
I've been using the web now for 4 years or so, and generally speaking find it
great with Jaws. But recently I've been having problems accessing certain
features of that well know, popular online retailor Amazon. I can't pay for
items. If I have items in the shopping cart, I can remove them, but can't save
them, and when I'm trying to get to the checkout, I can get onto the update
page, but when clicking the proceed to checkout, it just seems to refresh the
current page I was on. If I have Jaws running and someone clicks on the link
with the mouse, it works no problems. I'm guessing there's something in the
scripting of the site that conflicts with Jaws, but am not sure. i'm running
Windows 98 SE and J 4.5, but this makes no difference, as I've used it with XP
and J 4.5 and still the same probs. I've got a friend who's got J 5, and he
too has had the same experience.
Does anyone know what is the problem? i've tried using the Jaws cursor and
mouse buttons, but the Jaws cursor can't even find the checkout button, and on
J 4.5, tabbing doesn't take the J cursor even when routed to PC.
would like more knowledge on this one, as I often don't have sighted help at
hand, and prefer doing things on my own anyway.
thanks.
Jill.
