>> Lynda,
>>
>> As I said, I'm pretty well aquainted with searching on Amazon. Part of
>> the issue is that you're not using terms JAWS does. For instance, you
>> say, "Near the search bar, designate your search for "books" on the list
>> to the
>> left of the bar." What this means is that there is a combo box you can
>> select the category "Books" to find the anthology, and the edit field is
>> where you type the name of the book. Your directions are based on how
>> it's done visually and not with JAWS. The terminology is different with
>> JAWS.
>>
>> Actually, you can use the H key to navigate the search, and the first
>> book that pops up is the current BOE anthology. You can press enter on
>> this title to open up more details as well as to purchase the book.
>>
>> Nonetheless, it doesn't appear this accessible with JAWS. I've had my
>> hubby double check too to make sure I'm not crazy. There's no link,
>> button, check box, combo box-- nothing stating what you provide in your
>> directions. If there was in deed a link titled such, when pulling up
>> links list with the insert and F7 keys, it would appear, but it does
>> not. Doing a control F to search for anything titled this doesn't bring
>> anything up either.
>>
>> I think part of the problem is that your directions are for anyone doing
>> it visually, and it would appear it's not accessible with JAWS to access
>> the options you list.
>>
>> I'm pretty good with using JAWS and my computer, but my hubby is not
>> only extremely well-versed with the tool, he's taught JAWS and once had
>> his certification in the program. So I'm confident he knows what he's
>> talking about. We've both spent time looking the page up and down with
>> no luck. And from what he can tell visually, there doesn't seem to be
>> any links above the picture as you state. He's sees links for an
>> advanced search, new releases and New York Times bestsellers but nothing
>> you list.
>>
>> When using a mouse, there possibly could be inaccessible menus and/or
>> dialogue boxes that open up, but JAWS finds nothing you have listed. And
>> like I said, when pulling up the links list after finding the book,
>> there's no links you say should be there.
>>
>> If any JAWS user has better luck, please let me know.
