[nabs-l] FW: [gui-talk] Google Search Settings Page No LongerAccessible

[Humberto Avila]

Hello Joshua,

I just looked at this myself and, to my knowledge, they are using sliders
that you can slide with a mouse instead of combo boxes, checkboxes and radio
buttons. These sliders, of course, are not accessible with JAWS and NVDA.

It is accessible.
It says, "Screenreader users, click here."
