Zoom settings? Restore/maximize screen? Windows System Parameter settings in 
JAWS? Accessibility settings in IE General settings dialog? Default screen 
resolution on video driver? Default color scheme in Windows?

Just a few of my favorite things...

Subject: [JAWS-Users] A Website inconsistency


Can anyone suggest why two of us with similar systems are getting different 
results on the same website? Unfortunately, I can't give a link because the 
company involved is working with us to fix accessibility issues. The company 
recently sent us a link to a new page where they believe they have made 
their video player's controls accessible. The webpage works for my 
colleague, but not well for me. Here are some details.

We both have Win7 machines, and I believe my colleague's is 64-bit like 
mine. While he uses JAWS 16 only, I get the same results whether I use 16 or 
17.

When you click on this webpage, the video starts almost immediately. No 
problem there. But we want access to the pause button because the videos are 
quite long. In the past, neither of us was able to access this button. On 
the new page, my colleague can do so easily, while I have to play some 
non-intuitive tricks to get there. Once again, more details.

My colleague can get to this button with the quick navigation key f and by 
arrowing around. (I'm not  clear if "b" works for him.) In my case, no quick 
navigation keys land on the button, and arrowing down the page doesn't get 
JAWS to verbalize it.

However, I discovered by chance that if I have focus on a certain link near 
the bottom of the page and shift-tab once, the pause button suddenly 
appears. Once I've done that, the pause button appears when I arrow around. 
However, the quick navigation keys still don't locate it. for the record, 
once JAWS found the pause button, it worked as expected.

One more note. After I close the window and reopen it, the pause button 
vanishes. I have to go through the same procedure to get it to show up.

When a button is this hard to find, and when finding it involves such a 
random process, I don't consider it accessible. However, it is accessible on 
my colleague's system.

Any ideas why the inconsistency?
