Just use thisveryalive accessible google search page without all theannoying stuff
Google did change settings recently, across most or all of their search apps, , to the detriment of accessibility. I haven't had to mess with or change my Google search settings, but several people on and not on this list have reported these problems and I have seen them on the page. The Google Accessibility, results page was also changed. In essence, it is that we now have sliders which JAWS can't read correctly, instead of combo boxes. Whether or not you have cookies may make a difference, in so much as how you may use a google page. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Justice" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 17, 2011 11:45 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Why the fuss here about Google?
