[nabs-l] Gmail View- HTML or Standard

[Humberto Avila]

Hello all,

I found that the standard view in gMail does work with JAWS 12 and later,
however, you have to use Mozilla Firefox. JAWS supports  the Google chat
feature, available within the standard view pages, and also the many fancy
style features found on the pages of standard gMail view. Apparently,
Firefox is better in terms of reliability with JAWS, and I've proved this to
be true. So if you want to use the gMail interface in standard view, use
Firefox if you have it installed on your computer. If not, you can download
from http://www.mozilla.org/firefox. You will find how accessible gMail is
with this browser. It even supports the calendar feature on Google.

The HTML view is the only accessible view with JAWS still; 
standard view doesn't work.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."

In the past I've been told if you use a screen reader such as 
JAWS, you should switch to the HTML view; it's more user 
friendly.  Is this still true?  Or, does the Standard view work 
just as well?   I would appreciate any thoughts on this topic, 
thank you!
