This doesn't exactly have anything to do with this particular
subject, but it does relate in a way. I was talking a test for work,
we're doing COOP training with deals with continuation of operations
in the even of an emergency. So, at the end of the test and I had to
do this on windows since it was at the office, I had to then take an
exam. So, I had to open a pdf file which contained the questions, and
then select a through d on the answer sheet. Now what made this
entire process damn near impossible was that everytime I would flip
over to the questions in the pdf file, then flip back to the browser
to enter the answer, the damned page would reload in that annoying
MSAA buffer. So effectively it was pure hell keeping trakc of where I
was in one or the other. So, finally I decided to do it from home on
the Mac. Now of course first picture the answer sheet, its laid out
in two columns with 1-7 on left and 14-25 on the right, something
like that. Well in any case I had the pdf file open and then the
browser, Safari, and I was able to flip back and forth and not loose
my place with either application. I would say first this is a poor
way to setup the process to begin with other than its one generic
sheet used for all sorts of tests, lazy on their part, but hey I got
it done. So this is one example of how it is so much easier working
on the Mac than it is on a pc running windows.

It's not the easiest thing to do, but I could navigate the
form and use VO keys to discern the fields or by counting over. I
run into this kind of thing a lot, so I've gotten used to first
taking a look at the entire set of fields and buttons and then
taking the time to figure out what is what. Again, not a simple
task, but certainly doable. Perhaps the next version of VO will
allow this to be easier with improved navigation.

How does one navigate forms using Safari?
I expect Control-Option-F3 or Control-Option-F4 to tell me the
context
of a field, but no luck.
I have posted a model form that seems perfectly accessible with Jaws
and WindowEyes. Not so much with VoiceOver, or am I doing something
wrong? Thanks!
