Graphics that contain links
Peter Beasley
There is a petition site here in the UK called 38 degrees. Until a couple of months ago, there was no problem clicking on links to sign petitions. They have changed the link to a graphic. What it says is graphic wrecked angle contains link. I am unable to find a way to activate these links using NVDA which is my only screen reader..

1. I suspect that rather than saying two words "wrecked angle", it is saying

the single word "rectangle". 2. Can you give us the URL of a page containing this link so we can investigate for ourselves? 3. Have you tried contacting the owners of the site to tell them about this change and the effect it has on screen readers, to see if they can change it back to something that works again? Antony.

Please send the address of a specific page where
you see such a link. I looked at one petition and saw none. I looked
at the entire home page and saw none. Also, what browser are you
using?

Look for the sign button rather than a graphic, it works fine

Ahh, I thought you meant the site itself Try going to the website rather than using email links

Do they have a contact email. It seems like they may have made a simple error here and need to be alerted to it.

Its probably been created by a piece of software I suspect. I've come across this sort of thing. Sometimes it will click with nvda keypad enter but not always. I'm sure somebody more knowledgeable might be able to explain but email today is coming in in fits and starts and out of time order, so apologies if somebody else has replied with more advice the same as this.
