Ok, Saybro--well, that was somewhat instructive--at least now I have a
little better idea of some of the things you've tried, and that's
good. However, u still haven't told me what version of Jaws & what
browser and version thereof you're using.
The problem we're going to be up against, if what u say is accurate,
e.g., the buttons move & there is no text displayed on them, is that
there simply may not be a scripting solution. U seem to have explored
some options regarding this, so I have no reason to doubt u, though I
may still inquire further.
1 thing I did note on the site was the constant refreshing. I
understand why that's done, but u may find it necessary to turn that
off & have it refresh manually instead, in order to more accurately
recognize those buttons.
If u could give me some details off list as to what has to be done on
the site, perhaps, as I said, a skype, phone, or even a tandem
session, depending on your jaws version, then we could see what we're
up against & go from there. Obviously I haven't bought any bid packs
nor did I try to bid on anything, simply cuz I'm not quite certain how
all that works lol. So, if nothing else, u can give me a lesson on
Beezid.
