Jackie,Thank you very much. I will try it with Firefox. I have been dealing with so many challenges with Kaplan, LSAC, and JAWS that I forgot all about trying to use Firefox. It seems that lots of blind people like Firefox better than IE, so maybe I should learn to make the transition as well.
In addition, I have an intermittent connection today, so that may explain things a bit but not completely. Shouldn't the Macromedia stuff update itself when the page is loaded if the version numbers are not in sync well enough to pass the version check?
I will let you know how it works. Thanks, Tom----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie McBride" <abletec@xxxxxxxxx>

Tom, I got headings & number of links when page loaded. Is your flash up-2-date?On 5/15/10, Jackie McBride <abletec@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:I used firefox. lol. Let me see what it does w/i e 8. I am not an I e fan, to put it bluntly. Don't ask why. You'll get a tirade which u likely don't wanna hear. On 5/15/10, Tom Ladis <tom@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Sorry, I did forget to include that. I am using JAWS 11.0.1430 and IE 8.0.6001.18720. These should be the latest version with updates. I am guessing that the Macromedia stuff is grabbing the focus and JAWS never gets to announce after the page is loaded. Does this make sense that this would happen to you? I have been told that the Kaptest website has problems. How did you perform your check. I'd like to learn.

U don't state which version of jaws you're using, which browser, etc. Makes it kind a difficult to comment.

JAWS is not announcing the summary info, such as the number of headings and links, when the pages are loaded. How do I check their web site to see if it is accessible? Their URL is www.kaptest.com in case anyone is curious.
