Hi Jim,
Here is my experience with the referenced site:
Win 7 64-bit and Jaws 13
Using IE 10, nothing is visible to Jaws under step 2 - select your provider
and the checkboxes to subscribe to the mail lists are not visible.
Firefox 24.3.0: Radio buttons to select a provider are accessible, but the
descriptions of the providers are not visible. The checkboxes to subscribe
to
the mail lists are accessible.
NVDA 2013.3:
Using IE 10, nothing is visible to NVDA under step 2 - select your provider,
although there are multiple unreadable lines in this section. The checkboxes
to subscribe to the mail lists are not visible.
Firefox 24.3.0: nothing is visible to NVDA under step 2 - select your
provider. The checkboxes to subscribe to the mail lists are not visible.
And on my iPad 4 running iOS 6.1.3:
Using Safari: nothing is visible to Voiceover under step 2 - select your
provider. The checkboxes to subscribe to the mail lists are not visible.
So, the problem is not limited to Jaws, but is more a function of how the
site is coded. This site would be a good case study for the developers of
screen readers to dissect and determine why this site does not work properly
with a screen reader and then try to accommodate such issues on other sites.
I realize that there are an infinite number of ways to code a web page, so
it will be impossible to accommodate all coding techniques. But it is very
interesting to see how the different browsers and screen readers interact
with various web pages.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] an inaccessible web site.
Hi all,
The following is inaccessible to jaws readers.
www.ineedmydodgers.com.
It was set up to let Time Warner Cable know that some of us who have other
TV
providers to let these providers carry Sportsnetla. The reason I am
writing this
email is this. Is there something that FS can do to make sites like this
accessible
so we can at least use them? I had to get my sighted wife to register my
name etc.
On it. More and more of these kind of sites seem to be popping up, and I
would hope
something can be done about it.
Erick, enter here and tell us something. Smile. Jim
