In JAWS 18, I can press ENTER on the Menu button on that Web site, then TAB to the various options which become available once the menu is expanded. Some are sub-menus; again, ENTER expands them, and TAB repeatedly to see the links that have been revealed by the expansion...
I don't have 17 on this system anymore so can't comment on performance with that version on my PC...perhaps, try using the 18 demo for this site?

Guys, this is the new standard, there must be instructions on how to handle those particular elements on a webpage, you just have to find them. Try Freedom Scientific's homepage to see if they have tutorials and learn them, especially since more and more sites are trending to that format.

NONSENSE.

I'm using IE 11, win 7, and jaws 17 latest. If I go to the family history website Familysearch.org I get "button menu collapsed, button menu collapsed, button menu collapsed" ad infinitim. I've tried enter, alt enter, control enter, left and right mouse buttons and just arrows and cannot change anything from collapsed. I do get a context menu with the right mouse button but, it's not helpful. Any suggestions?
