Interesting, I am going to keep your zoom experience in mind though. In the
past, I've noticed some webpages where jaws will say list of nine items, yet
there will only be five things in the list. I also have noticed years ago,
say back in Jaws 9, that there were some websites where Jaws would only
recognize twenty links but Window-Eyes would show over thirty.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Zoom in IE, and can I see everything.
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?
