What do you mean by HTML needs adding? If there is not HTML, then what is
there?

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

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
