Re: Question about using the elements list on a page with a large quantity of information

It doesn’t obsess me. You are running a powerful computer and it took
a long time. I’m raising the question of whether people running far less
powerful machines have delays when opening the dialog.

Gene, I really have no idea why it obsesses you so how any given individual user attempts to navigate a page.
Some people, and many of whom are likely to have been JAWS users, simply like the elements dialog which is as close as you get to the links dialog under JAWS.
Any page that has 4400-plus links is not going to be easily navigated, period. Most web designers would never even begin to think of putting that many links on a single page. This particular page was not designed either for beauty or efficiency, but is just a massive list of links arranged in very large chunks, alphabetically, depending on what the title of the movie happens to be.
You know how much I happen to like screen reader find and the use of the various quick navigation options, but others simply don't. There is no right or wrong way here, simply the one that one prefers. And if you're aware that you're going to have to wait for some seconds on pages with way, way, way more links than is typical for NVDA to build the elements list, and make that choice, there's nothing wrong with that choice.

which adds support to my opinion that it is at times, perhaps more than realized, better to use find or to move by heading or other ways directly on the web page.-

I do not understand why some seek to separate a person from their actions. The self is composed of an individual’s thoughts, actions, and expression, which are contained in and actuated by the body. What you do and say is the clearest indicator of who you are.
