<DIV>Have you ever purchased anything from L.L. Bean Company? Well I went
on their website today and tried to fill out their New Registration form for new
online accounts and I could not do it. JAWS would not recognize the page
it brought me to. I learned after speaking with them that it does not
bring you to another page for this part, but is a drop down. So after
speaking to 2 folks they basically advised me that I could not do it, but I
could place my order as a non registered customer.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I did place an order by calling up and doing it over the phone. It
was a bit harder doing it that way as I wanted to order more then one thing and
had to switch back and forth between item website pages.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I asked the technical people I spoke with to please pass on the word that
this is not accessible by the blind using a screenreader.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What else can we do?</DIV>
