Hi Joe,
First of all, a warm welcome to this list from one its members.
Secondly, I have really enjoyed all of your discussions with us
this far.
Thirdly, Thanks for examining your companies billing page problems
and being willing to work with the billing company to correct the
problems that are not VO's fault.
Finally! A big thank you for demonstrating the benefit of VO being
a part of the OS from a developer's prospective.
Lots of good stuff over the last few days. Thanks a lot for all
your contributions.

By the way, you've just seen one of the huge advantages that come
with having VoiceOver built right into the OS and not costing
anything extra. You can report a problem and any developer can
fire up VO, experience the problem first hand and get started on a
fix. No worries about the developer not being able to afford a
(hugely expensive) screen reader or worrying about which software
package is being used.
It also means that there really are no good excuses for developers
not meeting basic accessibility requirements. That goes for us and
our third party payment processing page too. That really shouldn't
have slipped by (relative newness of the effort withstanding). We
need to fix that. Again, though, we were able to figure that all
out within a few minutes - and that's gotta be a good thing.
If you didn't know already, you know now that you're justified in
expecting a lot more from Mac OS X developers (us included) when
it comes to accessibility.

Here is bad stuff I encounter when navigating our payment
processor's credit card payment page with VO:
Everything is cool up to the credit card security code field text
label. After that, navigation with VO stinks - not VO's fault,
it's bad page design.
Main problems:
1. Can't navigate to card security ID field with VO (though you
can TAB to the field and VO will let you know you're in a text
field...except you have to guess at what the field is for.
Obviously unacceptable).
2. "Same as shipping address field" checkbox for Billing Address
section becomes unchecked as soon as you navigate to Street
Address field. Put simply, anyone who checks the "Same as
shipping address field" checkbox then continues to navigate via
keyboard and VO will have the checkbox unchecked but not know it.
It shouldn't work like that.
Again, I'll make sure we talk to the payment processor tomorrow
(2/26) to see how quickly this can be fixed or if we can somehow
apply our own template and ensure from our end that accessibility
requirements for the credit card payment page are properly met.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
Joe

Yes, I've had some trouble as well. It was a while ago and I
don't recall the details but I do remember having some unusual
problem. I buy stuff online all the time. This was one of those
few instances where I had a problem.

Subject: Re: katieplayer payment site
Hi Christos,
I'll take a look and try to see if I can figure out what the
problem might be on the payment page - most likely reason is
some missing information i.e. an empty required field.
Which operating system and web browser are you using?
There haven't been any reported problems with the registration
payment page - but that doesn't mean you haven't unearthed
something new. I'll second Christos' question...anybody on the
list have any problems with the katieplayer payment processing
page?
Direct payment by check or money order is another option.
I'll get back shortly after taking a fresh look at the payment
page and post any new information to the list.
Kind regards,
Joe

I thought I would ask this here since Joe from Kafkasdaytime
is now on the list.
I tried going through the registration process to pay for
Katieplayer. Up until the creditcard info fields there was no
problem. When I put in my credit card info the next field down
from that asked for the sid number of my card. I did enter in
this as far as I could tell,however it keppt bringing me back
to this registration screen when I tried to go onward with
the registration.
Has anyone else had problems with the Kagi payment site? Joe
any other payment options for katieplayer?
