Jason,

I use various combinations of JAWS and Internet Explorer, NVDA and Firefox.

Can you try with Firefox and JAWS or NVDA?

Oh, I've never heard of blind.training. I'm going to buy the excel textbook.
However, I'm having some trouble clicking the add to cart button. When I
click shall with the spacebar, I hear a little click and nothing happens. I
have had this happen to me before on web pages and have not figured out how
to solve it. Going to e-mail Cathy directly. Thank you for the resource.
