scroll through?
|
enes sarıbaş
Hi all,
I have seen several websites such the Apple store, where you have to check a box or click a button after scrolling through an agreement or text. With Firefox and NVDA, the website won't recognize that you have read the text and won't allow you to proceed. Is there a solution to these fields, or is this yet again something else that I need to purchase a comertial screen reader for? |

If a commercial screen-reader solves the problem, why not use a demo?

I'm curious to check this out. Are you sure there isn't a checkbox or button you can activate?

What about Object Nav and simulated left mouse click?

I'd be far more inclined to try a different web browser than a different screen reader as the first attempt at problem solving. It's well known that certain websites "play better" with screen readers when used with specific web browsers.
Again, it would be helpful to have example URLs, as this is very difficult to troubleshoot in the abstract. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 It is well to open one's mind but only as a preliminary to closing it . . . for the supreme act of judgment and selection. ~ Irving Babbitt |

Along with trying another browser, I would suggest moving through
the page using NVDA, by repeatedly pressing page down while browse
mode is off. After all, if a site does try to determine whether
someone reads an agreement, the only way it can do so is if the
person scrolls through it and using page down on a web site while
browse mode is off moves you directly through the underlying page so
you should be able to fool the site.

I'll add that I thought page down moved you through a web page when
browse mode is off but experimenting raises the question of whether
it does. Brian should be able to answer the question. I would
expect it to but from playing around with NVDA, I'm not sure it
does, yet there must be a way to scroll down a page using the
keyboard, working directly with the page.

Gene,
Just FYI, it seems to me these days that these agreements are generally contained in some sort of "mini-window" of their own that resides on the webpage itself. I really cannot remember what that object is called, but you have to scroll the text as it's showing within that object or it's not going to recognize it as having been read (even though virtually no one is actually reading, they're just scrolling to the bottom of the text). Someone who does web coding probably knows what these objects/widgets are actually called, but I don't. Even the "agree" button or checkbox is often an integrated part of the thing. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 It is well to open one's mind but only as a preliminary to closing it . . . for the supreme act of judgment and selection. ~ Irving Babbitt |

If you can't scroll as I described, you may well be able to if you
turn caret browsing on and move with the arrow keys or with page
down through the page in that way. Using Firefox, if I turn caret
browsing on, I can move down the screen in those ways. Whether that
makes the web page think I have read the agreement is another
question but that is something else to try.

Have browse mode off, caret browsing on and move through the page. To turn on caret browsing, issue the command f7. A dialog will come up. Answer yes. To turn off caret browsing, use f7 again, you may have to press it more than once, The same dialog will come up. This time, answer no. Gene On 9/24/2022 10:03 AM, Brian Vogel

This is really hard to demonstrate. The TMobile prepaid refill
screen has such a box, which was one reason I decided to switch to
postpaid and get a much better designed website. But the Apple
IPhone order page when selecting carrier financing also has two
checkboxes that you need to scroll to be able to check the box to
accept the agreement. On 9/24/2022 9:51 AM, Brian Vogel

What happens if you move to that point in browse mode, then use the NVDA move mouse command to where you are on the web page. What we call the virtual mouse in NVDA, is actually moving the real mouse as far as Windows is concerned, even though you are not moving a physical mouse. I find times when I can't move the mouse using the NVDA move mouse command but its worth trying.

Yeah strange things. I was in a rewards program after doing a google test. I was able to read most things but some address fields appeared weird and there was that checkbox. Nvda could see its location but couldn't click it, recognise it was a box or say there was a box. And when clicked there was no feedback and I needed sighted help. Now since I do test for dolphin I do have their reader. Maybe jaws can read it but I'd wager it can't not even narator can read it in a chromium based brouser. If it doesn't work with nvda or narator which are really basic readers using a lot of system stuff jaws may not either.
