Maybe I am missing something. Here is an interesting little issue I've
recently stumbled across. I wonder if I've been missing a lot of stuff
over the years.
I was attempting to do some work via a web site. My coworkers told me to
click on some link. No matter what, I could not find that link anywhere
on the page. I had a sighted coworker take a look at my screen and they
confirmed the link was not there. They showed me the section where it
should be but I only saw about four links in that section, and they had
maybe 8.
I went to view, then zoom, and I moved it from 100% to 75% and suddenly
more links appeared in that section. I moved it from 75% to 50% and
suddenly, all the links, including the one I was trying to find, appeared.
Now, should I always keep my zoom setting to the minimum? How do I even
know when I am not seeing everything that should be there?
As another little issue, seems like in HTML 5, objects that are clickable
do not announce as being such. So, sometimes I am struggling to figure
out how to find some piece of information, only to have a coworker to tell
me to click on something that just appears as a piece of text to me. It
doesn't say, link, doesn't say mouse-over, nothing, it is just text. Am I
supposed to click on every word on a page now?
