SLIGHTLY AT A TANGENT BUT IS THERE A MANUAL DESCRIBING NAVIGATING
WEBPAGES USING GROUP MODE OR DOM MODE? I'VE SO FAR BEEN USING GROUP
MODE AND LEARNING TO NAVIGATE IN THIS WAY BUT IS THERE MORE I COULD
LEARN ABOUT GROUP NAVIGATION OR DOM OR BOTH?
WITH BEST WISHES

I understand how it works ad in principle, it is fine. I just find
it much slower and more complex than dom nav. perhaps if more
people understood dom nav, they'd use it instead becaust it's a lot
less work.
I totally disagree. DOM mode with VO has all the same problems that
it does with Window-Eyes or Jaws. I've used both modes. DOM
navigation requires more navigation, gives a less accurate
representation of the page, and requires far more arrowing around.
I suspect if you did a survey, you'd likely find that most users are
using DOM mode, not Grouped, because it is so much like what they've
become accustomed to in Windows. I'm sure you understand the
concept behind grouped navigation, but I don't think you fully
understand the best ways of utilizing it to your advantage while
browsing. Everyone will have a different opinion why they like one
over the other, but as a matter of sheer practicality, it is very
difficult to make an argument that DOM mode is more efficient than
grouped.
I'd like to hear what others are using and why, and how many have
actually learned to use Grouped mode in depth.
