I tweeted @BBCRadio4 about it, including the url of the programme,
explaining that it hadn't been coded with accessibility in mind and is a
problem for screen-reader users. I also have Steve bowbrick on my
radar...

Agreed that doesn't sound impressive, but I'd settle for seeing the
unlabelled buttons if I could!
Interestingly this isn't the only web page I use where links/buttons
are presented but unseen by Jaws 11, ... this happens to be the all
round most inconvenient.
Please, if you can take a min and send them a note, they can be really
dismissive if they say you are the only one who contacted them so the
more the better.

There are unlabbelled buttons in the flash content, which JAWS12 sees.
Mine called the Play button unlabelled 1 button, and if I press that
to
pause it becomes unlabelled 2 button. JAWS11 may not be working well
enough with this flash content, but in any case it is or appears to be
rather unsatisfactory so far.

Good day,
My flash is enabled, and it sounds to me as though you are describing
the older, accessible consol which I never had a moments problem with
and would like to continue using. The new one is NOT! like that.
I am using Jaws 11, and my problems began Sunday night,, ... I use
the
BBC site for one reason or another at least six days a week and have
for over five years, so please believe me this is recent.
If they work correctly the two links below should take you to the two
different listen again pages they are now presenting. The first is
the old accessible page, the second the new page where I have not
been
able to find the buttons that are still there, somewhere.

You need to have flash enabled, as the page has a lot of that. the
buttons are then read by JAWS. there is the Play/pause button which
does
what it says. The timeline button allows you to jump by percentage
increments, the percentage being of the programme's length. There is
also a volume adjust button, and an Adobe Flash popout button. You
didn't say which version of JAWS you're using.

Good day,
Has anyone come across the new (and supposedly improved) iPlayer
that
the BBC uses to play their radio shows online? The "old" one
uploaded
and showed a simple consol that was easy for Jaws to navigate. This
new one is displaying a page filled with links, graphics and text.
I
had someone sighted take a look and the vital buttons are still
there,
and have the same labels: play/pause, volume and timeline, but Jaws
can't find/see them with either cursor. Could this possibly be a
Jaws
setting I need to change? Or is there a work around that will let
me
find them? Because not being able to hit pause during a three hour
show is a real problem.
If anyone has any help or suggestions to offer I'd be very
appreciative,
Yours sincerely,
Joy
