Hi there,
I am having trouble with Amazon.com, and I'm still using JFW 5.1 here at
home.
I have been looking for a particular item, and now, I can't seem to find a
general "Music" section. It's either "musical Instruments" or "Music
Downloads" or things like that.
When I did find what I thought I was looking for, it took me to another
global search page. This is really annoying, because this is how I plan on
doing my holiday shopping.
If anyone can suggest anything, please, write me, even if it's offline.
Thanks.
Jim

I'm afraid this is what happens when a company decides not to do public beta testing. The release version of the screen reader becomes the public beta, and we're all beta testers whether we want to be or not. I've found several bugs in 7.0 that weren't in 6.2. I can't set my external DECtalk Express to Some punctuation without changing it directly in the ini file. JFW 7.0 loses focus on the security dialog on my bank site. I'm sure there others I haven't found yet.

This issue should be reaised with FS. I tried it with JAWS 7, same problem as Chris. I tried it with WE 5.5, no problem.

Just now, using Jaws 5.10, I seemed to have no difficulty finding detailed information about a Mac Mini apple computer.
All of the Amazon pages came up with the information that I had requested, and things seemed to behave normally.I will sure try this with Jaws 6.0.

chris,
Doesn't look like it's just a Jaws 7 issue. I'm using v. 6.2, and
something
similar happens now (I was there just yesterday and everything was
normal).
I did a search for a particular book title that I know they carry. When
the
search results page loaded, I did a firtual Find for the word "sort,"
which
takes me to the "sort by" combo box just before the listed results begin.
I arrowed down a few lines and found the linked book title.
I clicked on it and the page I got was nothing but the usual global
nvavigational links plus a set of links and a combo box dedicated to
something to do with finding gifts. It wasn't about gift *certificates,*
if
that's what you got. But it was equally wrong. The title of the book I
used for the search was nowhere on the page. I arrowed down through it
very
carefully.
By the ay, in case you need it, the customer service number I've always
used
when necessary, and the only one I know about, is
(800) 201-7575

Hi folks
From the looks of things here, Amazon.com, one of my favorite sites on the
net, no longer works with JAWS 7.0.
You click on a link to take you to the information page for a specific
product, but instead you are taken to a page to buy a gift certificate.
From what I'm told, they made some kind of visual change to the site using
javascript. It looks more visually pleasing, but JAWS doesn't display the
page properly. so you press enter on a link thinking you'll land on one
thing but you land on another.
So I'm going to call the customer service line on Monday because even i, a
pretty compident JAWS user, couldn't find the contact us link. Well, i
found the link but not the right page. Really frustrating.
If anyone else has had a similar problem, or if you give the site aa try
and experience the same problem, I'd like to know. This way i'll have as
much information as possible when I make my call.
Thanks.
