Hi Christine, I wasn't able to get anywhere with the main web site in Safari with VoiceOver on. Not only does the site use flash for its contents, but the source page view indicates that they are using a lot of javascript. I couldn't even click in the web page and select all to send the contents to TextEdit for viewing via the services menu option.
What did work was doing a Google search for a separate page for Red Mango gift cards. I found this URL for their online card sales: https://redmango.myguestaccount.com/login/web_card_sale/selectcards.srv I think this is the page you can eventually get to if you manage to get past all the flash and javascript. Navigate to the Quantity field of the denomination gift card you want ($25, $50, $75, etc.), route your mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor with VO-Command-F5 and click with VO-Shift-Space in the text field. Then type the number of cards you want and press return. You'll be taken to the Billing & Shipping page, and can continue. I didn't try to go through the whole order placement, but this seemed to work with Safari and VoiceOver once you get past that main web page. I'd normally try to find a search field or sitemap link on the main page to do a search, but it didn't work in this case, so I tried Google. So the workaround in this case was to search for the specific web page on the redmango.com site that dealt with gift cards, and hope that if I found this that it wouldn't have the same flash problems of the main page of the site. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Oct 2, 2011, at 08:30, Christine Grassman wrote: > Hello, folks.
