?hi. trying to use a jaws friendly accessible site. for my assignment, need to research prices, taxes, from sydney to sofia, bulgaria, warsaw, poland and athens , greece, for 4 days each, and having a lot of trouble finding this information. a lot of the travel sites, not very screen reader friendly, with jaws, like for example www.travel.com.au or http://www.besttravel.com.au, they have the destinations and regions in a combo box, but do not allow you to make multiple selections, like more then one country and city. so any one got any ideas where i could find more jaws 12 friendly accessible travel sites. tried searching, and getting very frustrated. and a lot of the sites, for sighted users, buttons, not labeled properly, edit fields, not labeled properly. so using firefox, as jaws 12 gets stuck on a form, even when i turn forms mode off, still decides to go to the address bar, instead of the next control. so using firefox, more jaws user friendly. so if any one, has got a site, which can give me information, and a accessible online booking system for flights, and also accommodation, stopovers, different airlines, accommodation, charges, vaccinations, visa conditions. etc.
would be very grateful.
just getting real frustrated and yes tried riming travel agents, but not very helpful. tried that today. they could not find the information, or say go to the web site, but it is not very accessible. any ideas. marvin.
