Since you weren't specific in your message as to what problem you were referring to, I offer the following narrative:
Using Window-Eyes 8.2 and Firefox 23.0.1, I just went to the Learning Ally site and performed a quick search. Note: If you have Noscript running, you will need to temporarily allow scripts for this page in order to access the search results. Unfortunately, they don't use Landmarks to make it easier to jump right to the search results. It appears that, unlike prior versions of the site, they use headings to identify the search results, instead of tables. Navigating by second level headings should take you from result to result. Once you have located a potential target book, you can use the arrow keys in Browse mode to review the details of the book: Copyright year, edition etc. The problem occurs when you arrow past the "Add to Bookshelf" link, to the "What's an Audio Format" link. This link causes a reload which apparently adds additional information to the page. Unfortunately, you are unable to read this additional information with the Browse cursor as once you arrow off the link the page reloads again without the additional information. Fortunately, from my experience, when the page reloads, you don't lose your place on the page. Therefore, once you arrow off the link the page will reload and you can go on your merry way. The easiest work-around would be to avoid the offending link by using the second level headings to navigate to the targeted book thereby avoiding the offending link(s.) Also, remember that the offending link immediately follows the "Add to Bookshelf" link. Using the heading navigation key(s) from the "Add to Bookshelf" link should avoid the offending link altogether. Alternatively, you could simply just wait for the page to reload before moving on. FYI: This link is not only a problem with Window-Eyes. I just accessed the page with NVDA. Although the disruption is not as noticeable: NVDA does not say "page reloading ...", NVDA does however start saying "clickable, clickable link" once you have landed on this link and move away. Personally I find the unnecessary, repetition of the word "clickable" to be as irritating as the "page reloading" message, especially since the word "clickable isn't necessary: from my experience, if it's a link, it's clickable. This is not to be critical of NVDA, just to point out that it also has its irritations. -----Original Message----- From: Isaac [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, August 24, 2013 1:44 PM To: Kitty Litter; [email protected] Subject: Re: continuing problem with learning ally and firefox just wasting band width again probably, same problem hear! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kitty Litter" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 24, 2013 7:12 AM Subject: continuing problem with learning ally and firefox > Using firefox 23.01 the page starts reading from the top when reviewing > search results.
