I am using Firefox version 3.0.5, Windows XP and Window-Eyes version
5.5. I am trying to find how workable the Google calendar is with
Window-Eyes. After bringing up google.com, I try to enter on the
link concerning More options where the calendar can be found.
However, nothing happens when I hit the enter key. I have tried
shift-enter and also control-enter and also clicking with the mouse
keys, but I cannot get to the link. However, if I go into Internet
Options within Firefox and disable Javascript, then, the link will
link.
With JavaScript disabled, the "More" anchor is a link to a different
page. But when JavaScript is enabled, activation of the "More" anchor is
intercepted and the CSS visibility of a dropdown menu toggled. That menu
includes "Calendar" as an option. If you can't arrow to the dropdown
menu after activating the "More" anchor, it may be that Window-Eyes has
not refreshed its virtual buffer to include this update. It might have
better luck at picking up such changes with Browse Mode on.
If you can't get the dropdown menu to work, you can use a direct URL to
the calendar instead:
http://www.google.com/calendar
No idea how accessible Calendar itself is; it's been made to work with
Emacspeak (see
http://emacspeak.blogspot.com/2007/03/emacs-client-for-google-services.html
) but that doesn't mean much for Window-Eyes.
There's a mobile version of Calendar at:
http://www.google.com/calendar/m
That might work better with screen readers. See also this archived
