[nfbcs] Finding out what is selected

[Tracy Carcione]

Thanks Doug.
It's a Proprietary website.  I'll try the routing Jaws cursor trick.
Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to be careful.  
I failed the test, and it's possible that some of my wrong answers came
because I picked one thing, then changed my mind and picked something else.
I have no idea which choice actually got selected, in the end.
It would be nice if there were checkboxes, but there aren't.

I'll just have to study what I missed and try again.
Tracy

Best answer is often specific to app/site etc. unfortunately. A few tips
though:

For a website:

Ins+5 with the JAWS virtual cursor active may not tell you an accurate
color. RouteJAWSToPC and then Ins+5 might, but that route command may take
some time in some circumstances.

Local app:

Very dependent on how the app is coded. Besides font and color, selection
state could indicate your choice, or a checkbox graphic beside it, or
probably a few other possibilities. I would have to see the app myself to
say more.
I'm willing to do that but I don't know your timeframe.

I'm taking a self-assessment test.  It's multiple choice, and the choice is
selected by "clicking" with the Jaws left mouse.

Is there any way to confirm what has been selected?  I looked at the color,
and the font,  before and after I clicked, and it stays the same.

I want to review my answers to some questions before I submit, and it would
be handy to know what I picked.  It would also be good to know the right
thing was selected if I changed my answer.

I'm using Jaws 2019.

Thanks.

Tracy
