[Blindmath] html presentation

[Michael Whapples]

Not sure why Jaws would jumble the content (may be an FS special 
feature). Have you tried it with NVDA to see whether NVDA jumbles the 
content?

Could you give more of a clue what you mean by jumbled,is it the content 
of one slide is jumbled with itself or does content from different 
slides jumble together?

As for the cursor key, you probably will have that issue with most 
screen readers. Most have a bypass key to allow the next key press to 
pass to the application as normal, I would hope Jaws would have such a 
key but you never know. In NVDA it is NVDA+f2. Also could you manually 
put Jaws into forms mode and see whether the cursor then leads to moving 
between slides?

How does moving between slides actually work?  Does it get the browser 
to perform a page navigation or is it just scrolling, or something else? 
If it were scrolling then I could imagine you having trouble getting 
what a screen reader reads and what is shown on screen to match. This is 
one of the things I like about PDF based slides, although there is 
obviously limitations to accessibility of certain content in PDF (IE. 
maths).

If JAWS is running though, I can't actually follow the slides at all as the content gets either jumbled, or I can't move onto the next slide using the arrow key which JAWS has hold of.
