[nabs-l] Greyhound Website Accessibility

[Cynthia Bennett]

Steven:

Thanks for the work around. It really does work. Just think, every
time you enter something, go up to the top of the page and select
whatever option is available. For example, I typed Seattle as my
departure city, and Seattle, WA or Seattle Amtrak WA appeared at the
top. Similarly, I manually typed my departure date into the edit box,
and then i clicked on the open calendar popup link. The month of
October popped up at the top of the page and I was able to select my
departure date, and I did the same for the return. Pressing space to
select things and initiate the search definitely works instead of
pressing enter if you are one of those people like me who tends to try
enter first out of habit.
