update on my Gmail issue
|
Bob Cavanaugh
Hi all,
I just discovered something that is a little strange. The contacts list in Gmail's basic HTML view is also a table, and NVDA reads names associated with the checkboxes on that page, but not when browsing messages. Bob |

My question is can someone get a list of contacts how do you get there? Also how are you are able to send more than one attachment

Are you aware you can get your g mails through the thunder bird client that is how I do it at the moment or actually for years. Far easier I guess than the web version. Gene nz On 12/12/2020 7:53 am, Kerryn Gunness via groups.io wrote:

installed it. I'm fine with using the web interface, as long as it's the basic HTML. As for getting a list of contacts, there's a link for that in your navigation. To send more than one attachment, activate the button that says "attach more files." On 12/11/20, hurrikennyandopo ... <hurrikennyandopo@...> wrote:

Are you using basic HTML or standard view? If Basic HTML, the easiest

way to find it is to navigate by heading from the top of the page, it will be there as a link and a heading. As for attachments, it doesn't open a dialog right away, it opens a second page where there are 10 more browse buttons that you then have to use just like the first one. If you're using standard view, I'll have to test this out and get back to you. On 12/11/20, Kerryn Gunness via groups.io <k_gunness@...> wrote:

Or you can just use your screen-reader's search to search for cont from the top of the page. You will find contacts on the first search. Search is one of the most powerful and underused means of efficient navigation. Most of the time, typing the first four letters of what you are looking for will be sufficient to find the item in the first search or the first repetition of the search.

You may already know this, but I just played around with contacts in the simple HTML view. If you check the check boxes for all the contacts you want to include in a message, then press the compose button, the message will open with all the addresses you checked.

It also allows for very quick determination if something suspected to be present is actually present or not, including controls like buttons. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 If you think that you can think about a thing, inextricably attached to something else, without thinking of the thing it is attached to, then you have a legal mind. ~ Thomas Reed Powell
