Hi, Scorpio. Don't you think this is a little unfair? Website designers generally make websites visually intuitive. We'd like to be in a position to expect the same thing. It sounds as though Karen tried all sorts of methods to make these buttons work. I might have added the spacebar to her list, but others have posted other suggestions that might work. Technology ought to serve us, not the other way around. I say this respectfully.

Guys, this is the new standard, there must be instructions on how to handle those particular elements on a webpage, you just have to find them. Try Freedom Scientific's homepage to see if they have tutorials and learn them, especially since more and more sites are trending to that format.

NONSENSE. And don't you mean ad nauseum? -----Original Message----- From: Karen Schrade Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2017 1:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] using "new, upgraded" websites I am going crazy with the new formats for websites. I'm using IE 11, win 7, and jaws 17 latest. If I go to the family history website Familysearch.org I get "button menu collapsed, button menu collapsed, button menu collapsed" ad infinitim. I've tried enter, alt enter, control enter, left and right mouse buttons and just arrows and cannot change anything from collapsed. I do get a context menu with the right mouse button but, it's not helpful. Any suggestions?
