John, Bill, and All, I've used Peapod for more than 3 years now and it's doable, but still takes a very long time to do an order.
On my machine, things have gotten worse and not better. Apparently, Peapod made some changes to the site just about the time Beta 1 of JAWS 10 came out and it's taking me longer to complete an order. I've contacted both FS and Peapod and the problems I'm having haven't been resolved. They made some more changes to the site several weeks ago and at least one page that had a proper close link is no longer properly labeled, but I've learned to just do a Control-End and it gets me to the link. I discovered more changes in wording and what page links were on during my latest order the other day. I agree with Bill's suggestion about learning JAWS keys for browsers. They can save some time, but I could swear they don't work properly on the Peapod site. I admit that I might not be using everything that JAWS offers us to its full potential and I'm also not using IE 7 as well as I should. I have an order scheduled for delivery tomorrow and will try to spend more time on the Peapod site when my stomach is full and I'm in a half-way decent mood and hopefully can discover more shortcuts. John, what version of JAWS are you using and is there anything in particular that you are trying to do at Peapod?

It was quite a complex web site and instructing anybody to use it even then would be quite challenging via e-mail. But I will start by suggesting that you become very familiar with each of the features that JAWS offers in Internet Explorer. Particularly, frame lists, links lists and pop-up menu handling. In the winter of 2003/2004 it would commonly take me three hours to submit a $125 grocery order and we never bought meats and seldom bought produce through the PeaPod web site. ---*---*---*---*---*--- Holland's Person, Bill E-Mail: billgal...@centurytel.net No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery. ----- Original Message ----- From: "JOHN O CARVALHO" <n1...@verizon.net> To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2009 6:17 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] New version of NVDA Is there anyone that has good luck with using peapod? Can you get back with me I need some instructions on how to use it.
