[nfbcs] Questions Regarding Employment and Tools used in the Workplace

[Louis Maher]

Hello Jordyn,

If you are using JAWS, go into a web page, hit insert 1 for the keyboard
help, and checkout insert+shift+ f1 which will give you local element
information, and insert+control+shift+f1 which gives more local element
information.  
His is some information on jaws color detection.

-- 
Set the skim reading rules to find red.  Hit control + shift + insert + down
arrow. Arrow down to the bottom and see atttributes and color. Tab to color
attribute rules, hit r for red, there are many reds.  Tab some more. Begin
skim reading, or create summary.  tab to close.  Start skim reading control
+ insert + down arrow.--

Subject: [nfbcs] Questions Regarding Employment and Tools used in the
Workplace

Hello all,
This summer I had the pleasure of working as an IT intern fixing
accessibility defects on a company's website. This was my first job, and I
just had some quick questions regarding what you've experienced in the
workplace.
What do you do if a tool used by the company is inaccessible? For example,
the tool we use to enter our hours on our timesheet is completely unusable
by a screen reader. I think it is a Java app or something.
We also use a tool for code review which highlights code in different colors
and associates the highlighted code somehow with comments made by reviewers.
How would you deal with a situation like this?
Also, is there a way to accessibly use the web developer tools to read the
HTML for a specific link or web element in IE?
When you are fixing something like accessibility defects in code, how do you
efficiently go through someone else's code to find the errors when there are
multiple files and a zillion lines of code? I need to find the places where
HTML needs to be added so the screen reader reads content properly.
I really do appreciate any help and insight you can give me. If these
questions are extremely broad, please let me know. This summer we did paired
programming, so my partner and I figured out things together. However, when
that's not the case,I want to be as efficient, independent, and productive
at my job as I possibly can.
Thank you,
Jordyn
