[nabs-l] Accessibility of Blackboard?

[Bridget Walker]

Hi everyone,
I am a student at Dominican College and I have a love hate relationship with blackboard when using jaws. I am finding Jaws 14 has been the best in tackling all of the crazy web design problems. The biggest problem I face when working with jaws is that it tends to move to the top of the page. an additional problem I face is when I need to use the timer modification and need to log in. Jaws will let me put in my information but when I try to read a test and answer questions jaws moves to another place on the screen. I could go on with all of the problems I face with blackboard but will say that jaws 14 is an improvement with exception to form fields. 
As a general is anyone having problems with jaws 14 and invert commands?
