I agree with that but in all my years of battling
sites I only once ran across someone willing to try using a screen reader
sadly!

I don't particularly care if they use a keyboard
themselves. It would be nice if at least one person reviewed the design
using a keyboard, but not just a keyboard, a screen-reader. You can't
evaluate a site from the keyboard without knowing how to use a
screen-reader. But if they don't want to bother doing that, the site
should be tested by blind people while the site is under development.

lol Gene!
keep telling folks that if these designers
would just use these sites with a keyboard they might find out how not user
friendly they are!

Just one more example of what happens when
someone or a corporation, which is bye law a person, so someone, with very
little brain, like Winney the Pu (spelling) still doesn't know after years
of working with advocacy groups to make their site accessible, that you
don't just make changes. You test them with blind users before
implementing them. This is clearly something a sighted person would
see. A screen-reader wouldn't read it automatically. the page
has changed. Perhaps this change could be properly coded using Aria or
JAVA script, I don't have the technical knowledge to know how best to do
it. The person would be placed on the correct control and the text
would be read as well as the control you are on. But no.
Obviously the changes weren't tested, not even with one or two blind
people. Even Winnie The Pu learns faster.

Ok, that works. Thank you. A stupid workaround, but hopefully
amazon will change things back, not holding my breath, or the NVDA
developers will figure out how to work with this kind of
change. Travis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Danni" <luv2ride67@...> To:

I need to correct 1 thing I said not alt
tab but shift tab gets you to the buy it now button and it works I've
been doing it for the last 2 days!
to recap it's check submit queery
then spacebar insert then shift tab to buy now!
