[GUI-Talk] JAWS With Chrome

Thu Sep 19 22:56:49 UTC 2019

Hello Denise,

I see what you are getting at. Sometimes, when I activate tab items by pressing Enter key, JAWS will tell me whether it is expanded, collapsed or something, and it will activate the forms Mode for entering text/ interacting with the web page, ETC. In order to get out of that mode just hit the Escape key, and you are then able to read the information presented underneath the tab you just activated, using the arrow keys. At least, that is what I've done.

Hope this helps a bit more. If you have further questions feel free to reach out to me, privately if you would like, so as to not clutter the list.

Best,

Humberto

Hi, 
That's true for the first page. But I clicked the link about the use of special equipment for writing. This is where I found all of the tabs. The only thing I wonder is if the browser was too slow to load the information.

Hi Denise,

Thank you for sending us the link to your web page where you are having challenges with JAWS. However, I didn't see any tabs on that page. Everything was nicely laid out with headings, links, and everything very accessibly. 

Sincerely,
Humberto

Dear Denise,

This depends on the web site you are visiting. Sometimes it is JAWS, sometimes it is the site. Some sites have their tabs so that you press enter and you can get what is underneath the tab and this is sometimes is visually referred to as the Accordion layout of a web site.  Sites, you have to go past the tabs till you can get to the information.

You may also at times hear JAWS say "Use JAWSKey+Alt+M to move to control element", which, if your hands are practically elastic, you  can press that keystroke ut -- geeky as I can be I won't always get that one either.

I know Chrome is usually good about web page stability, more efficiently than other browsers, but if that doesn't help, try other browsers like Firefox, Internet Explorer or Edge as Louis suggested.

If you have other questions, let us know. I'd be happy to help more if you would provide a link to the site you are looking at to see if anyone in here experiences the same problem you see.

Best,

Humberto

Hello all,

I am running the latest version of JAWS 2019. I have the latest version of Chrome on Windows 10. I am visiting a website that has tabs that if you press enter, should open the tab and let you read what is under it. However, while the tab does open, I am not able to find the information. I tried tabbing and shift tabbing, but that seems to just move me from one tab to another.

Am I suppose to use another keystroke, once I open the tab?

Thanks for any help.
