Hi,
Appreciate your cander, but I've tried everything
to get JAWS to see the buttons and nothing works.
Again, it's like they're being displayed dynamicl
using JAVA or flash. Even the buttons/graphics to
pay for bid packs aren't visible to JAWS no
matter what graphics setting I have JAWS set to.
I've incorporated a simple system of frames and
mouse pointer movements scripts to achieve my
results, but sometimes the buttons for bidding,
booking an AutoBeezid, etc moves slightly
downwards, so all of my scripting goes out the door.
I need scripts created that would find these
buttons, no matter where they're located on the
screen. I simply need hit a key combination to do the job.
Please look more in detail at the site, so you
can see what I mean about the buttons. You need
to go into an auction as if you want to bid on it.
