I just looked at what happens when you activate the
button. a license agreement is presented at the bottom of the page, as
shown by a screen-reader. To a sighted person, the agreement might be
along the right of the page, I don't know. To a blind user, the accept and
download link is the last thing on the page, below the lisence agreement.
I asked about NVDA speaking new content after an action is
taken such as activating a button. But this page illustrates the
difficulty in implementing such a feature. You probably wouldn't want the
license agreement read, just the accept and agree button or maybe a senteence of
the license agreement and then the button, to alert the reader that both are now
present. But that sort of detailed response might not be practical.
So how, if at all, should a screen-reader react under such
circumstances?

I'll look at the page but my question before looking is
whether the I agree button is there before you activate the button.
Whether it is or not, the thread brings up a screen-reader question. Could
NVDA be made to know when the screen changes in response to an action? For
example, now and then, something will come up or change on a web page when a
user activates a button that the user doesn't expect or know about. It
wouldn't be a good idea to have screen-readers automatically read every change
that occurs on screen. But in specific instances, it would be
important.

There is an agree etc that opens up below the dl section. If you use
your button nav you should be able to find it. After that, go back up to the dl
section after excepting the license agreement.

Hi Group,
To reproduce this issue:
1. Visit https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download/
2.
Navigate to the Dev (development version) the best stable version.
3.
There is a button associated with the download of this browser for Windows
10.
4. Try activating it.
5. The result is that whether you
press enter, space bar or route review to the button and left click, nothing
happens.
I would be interested to see if anyone else experiences the same
issue.
