I purchased online from NBP about three days ago with no difficulty whatsoever.

Hi Rosemarie,

When you're moving around from field to field within the form, is Jaws reading 
the names of the fields correctly?  You want to be sure that you're entering in 
appropriate information in the correct fields.  Sometimes the HTML on the site 
can be kind of screwy and the fields are labled incorrectly.  It's possible 
that the credit card information you're entering isn't going into the correct 
field.  This might not be any fault of your own; it could just be a problem 
with  the HTML like I mentioned.  Instead of using the TAB key to move from 
field to field, try looking at everything with your virtual cursor first so 
that you can be certain that everything is labeled correctly.  You also want to 
double check   that you're using the correct format for the data you're 
entering.  For example, when you're reading the page with your virtual cursor, 
look for small notes that are near to the fields that tell you what format you 
should enter your information in.  Sometimes they'll say to not include 
dashesin credit card numbers, or perhaps they'll tell you to enter in an 
expiration date in a certain way.  Nowadays, you'll often see forms that tell 
you to enter dates in mm/dd/yyyy format.  I'm not familiar with this site 
you're referring to so I can't give you specific directions, but these are some 
things you'd want to look at.  Another suggestion is you might   want to 
seriously consider upgrading to a newer version of Jaws if it's within your 
financial means.  Freedom Scientific has made many enhancements as far as web 
browsing goes.  Until this Amazon.com fiasco     came about, I've rarely come 
across a web site that wasn't accessible.  Try downloading the demo of Jaws 7.0 
and see if it allows you to access this web site any better.

Michael

Hi, everyone. I'll post this question one more time. Has anybody ever shopped on line with National Braille Press? Right now I don't think I'll ever shop online again because I'm having so many bad experiences. First I had trouble with the Albertsons website, then Amazon, now it's National Braille Press.

 The problem I'm having with different websites is when I go to fill out the 
checkout form, the computer gives me an error message saying that the 
information isn't right--and I know it is.  Tonight I even tried to order the 
book I wanted for the third or fourth time and I still got that same error 
message!  I don't know what to do anymore!  I've had it!  Please give me some 
helpfull suggestions!
 Rosemarie
