[NFBCS] Jumping website

Hi Tracy and all,

It sounds like you're using SharePoint on your work web site because you mentioned the More Accessible Mode which enables HTML view for that software.

I had a similar problem at work and the issue was that the main web site was using a slide carousel that refreshes over and over again with animated text. It's possible to have a carousel that blind people can read that doesn't refresh over and over again in this annoying way. Another benefit is that if the site is using multiple slides, people using screen readers or keyboards can press a link for the next slide whenever they want it instead of having text refresh over and over again.

I would ask the SharePoint administrator if they are using this kind of slide carousel, or some other kind of animation in the default site theme. I found an accessible carousel with code samples for my co-worker to fix the one I had issues with on the W3C web site and they customized something after looking at that code.

I hope this helps. 😊

Respectfully,

Beth

I'm on my company's general employee website, and it keeps repeating a list of people, one at a time, which makes it hard to read the bit I'm interested in.  I'm trying to read a bit about information security, and it keeps cycling through a list of people who work in the InfoSec group, interrupting what I'm trying to read. It doesn't move the Jaws focus, just constantly interrupts reading. 

I have turned on "more accessible mode" and turned off animations, but it doesn't help.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and how to make the screen more static, or do I need to find and bug the website admin?

Thanks.

Tracy
