I'll have to look around and see if I can find something. You may be correct that there is some redundancy that WE is smart enough to ignore. However, if it is indeed the case that WE is omitting links because of redundancy, I would still rather have the true number of links and headings displayed rather than trusting to Window Eyes to decide how many it thinks I should see.
I cannot prove it, not being an expert on web design, but I suspect the reason for the disparity in the number of links and headings is due to something else.

I wonder if there is some redundancy at bookshare that WE is smart enough to ignore? If you want to give me an example of something you can not get, I'll be happy to see how it goes for me.

So clearly, there is something substantially wrong somewhere with WE and IE8, but it is not limited to IE8. Evan ----- Original Message ----- From: donald E.

They were not labeled with the word find but rather with the word search IE 8 with WE 7.11 also had no issues with regards to searching for books. I did notice with Firefox WE reported 36 links and 10 headings where IE reported 34 links and 9 headings. Merry Christmas To All! Sincerely, Donald E.

And yes, I am also not interested in getting into a debate about screen readers; but this problem does not seem to be occurring with JAWS. Evan ----- Original Message ----- From: John W. Carty To: '[email protected]' Sent: Friday, December 11, 2009 11:43 AM Subject: bookshare I have not been on bookshare for a while but using ie8 latest update and we 7.11 once I logged on from the home page we couldn't locate the find books link. I opened the list view with insert tab as well as simply arrowing down to the link location. WE reads the label as text but not as a link and cannot activate it. Is this a bookshare error or a we error. I don't want to start an argument or debate about screen readers but jaws reads and activates this as a link. Does anyone else have this experience?
