[nabs-l] Gmail View- HTML or Standard

[Chris Nusbaum]

Wow! I'll have to get Firefox! I only use Internet Explorer right 
now, but I've heard Firefox is very reliable, so I might switch.  
But I'm definitely not going to Google Chrome!

Hello all,

I found that the standard view in gMail does work with JAWS 12 
and later,
however, you have to use Mozilla Firefox.  JAWS supports  the 
Google chat
feature, available within the standard view pages, and also the 
many fancy
style features found on the pages of standard gMail view.  
Apparently,
Firefox is better in terms of reliability with JAWS, and I've 
proved this to
be true.  So if you want to use the gMail interface in standard 
view, use
Firefox if you have it installed on your computer.  If not, you 
can download
from http://www.mozilla.org/firefox.  You will find how 
accessible gMail is
with this browser.  It even supports the calendar feature on 
Google.

The HTML view is the only accessible view with JAWS still;
standard view doesn't work.

In the past I've been told if you use a screen reader such as
JAWS, you should switch to the HTML view; it's more user
friendly.  Is this still true?  Or, does the Standard view work
just as well?   I would appreciate any thoughts on this topic,
thank you!
Robert
