[NFBCS] Does Anyone Know How to Get Event Listeners in Firefox Developer Tools When Using a Screen Reader

[Steve Repsher]

Hi Nicole,

I've done this recently with NVDA so maybe you can mimic with JAWS.  It's
not very accessible at all and I do it by manipulating the mouse with NVDA
keyboard commands.  Once you get focus on the desired element in the
inspector, here's my convoluted method:

   1. Using object navigation, drill down once then over until you get to
   the word "events" (Insert+NumPad2 then Insert+NumPad6)
   2. Move the mouse to the word and click it (Insert+NumPad/ then NumPad/)
   3. That brings up a popup near the click point with the events listed,
   which I then use the mouse manually over, then get the navigator inside the
   popup (Insert+NumPad*)
   4. Then I can read the events with object navigation


The popup also includes a link to the event handler code which you can
click to bring up a code snippet.  I don't find that useful at all.  Once
you know the event to listen for, it's much more accessible to just use the
debugger to set a breakpoint and browse the code that way.

Hope that helps.

Steve
