[nfbcs] Issue With JAWS and Windows 10

[Wes Majerus]

Hello, all:

It is interesting that this thread has popped up. We are using a new system here at work and having a myriad of problems with Internet explorer 11, JAWS 18, and windows 10 build 1607. Mozilla Firefox is a supported browser, but I am noticing some oddities. Has anyone else noticed that on Pages with grids, Mozilla sometimes displays them a little bit differently than Internet explorer? In this particular system, there is an image that is used to select the grid result and then a link that contains information about that result. In Internet Explorer, these are all combined into one cell. And Firefox, the image and the link information or split into two adjacent cells. I don't know if this is a fire fox issue, or the way that fire fox provides information to the screen reader through the virtual buffer.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I also agree that Internet explorer is dying on the vine. Or use Firefox strictly at home, but Internet explorer at work. I also appreciate the feedback on Google Chrome because this is what I was thinking as well.
