Hmmm, But, if bharatvaya says it's not accessible via the keyboard, then
wouldn't that mean the b solution would not work either? for in my
understanding,
the quickKey B, only takes you to elements that tab would normally readily
locate also....
So one must presume that this particular bank website, is, for some reason,
doing rather poorly as regards their current knowledge/implementation of
accessibility?
That's one of the first things I'd be doing if I were you bharatvaya.
I.e. seeking to get in touch with someone in the bank's customer service
devision, hopefully who understands the first thing about accessing a
website from the keyboard,
and explaining the situation to them, and requesting that they'd take a look
at insuring that this button, and all/any others, are definitely in the
tab-order, such that the sighted non-jaws user can tab to them and activate
them successfully with spacebar.
secondly, I'd wanna try to establish, if perhaps this button, is truly a
graphical BitMap button/area which is also not at all accessible/labellable
via Jaws Graphics labeller feature?
Mind you to be honest, I've never personally found this to be a particularly
helpful/useful feature in html land, but might be worth a longshot?
For then at least, you might have a chance of labelling it, then either
navigating to it with Jaws+Arrows, or even using the Jaws Find labelled
Graphics feature, under JawsKey+Control+F.
Mind you, In the past, that seems to me to have even been a bit of a
dodgy/unreliable feature anywayz!
I can't test at the moment under jaws13, but I've had instances where that
JawsFind feature, at least on the part of graphics, seems to have changed
depending on whether the jaws cursor was active or not, at the time of
hitting next?
Plus, you had to insure you were at the top of the window, with controlHome,
and then choose forward. I.e.
to my knowledge It was never made inteligent enough to just auto-wrap, and
search the whole window for the instance of the labelled graphic.
goodness knows why not.
Lastly though, if all that fails, then the HotSpotClicker tool, might well
become your friend!
Http://www.hotSpotClicker.org
rather easier than writing a script to locate this, if indeed it is nothing
but a BitMap pattern of red pixels denoting this button,
because of it's wizard-based approach, HotSpotClicker, HSC, was really
Designed for specifically solving these types of problems, and a great deal
more besides.
however, I feel I should say that To utilize all it's cool features, HSC is
not the most straightforward tool to connect to the internet explorer
application, for a bunch of reasons I won't go into yet.
as for it's full feature set, it requires some careful pasting of
information into certain parts of the internet explorer script set. Which
if you've never ventured into script land before, really should not be
attempted in my view, as it's perilously easy to break things in here if
your not super careful.
I'll leave this here, and if your really keen to trial HSC to solve your
problem, i.e. if nothing else does, flip us back and we'll see if we can
help you. meanwhile, if you are keen, you can download and install the
hotspotClicker.exe application on your puter, then await further
instructions.
It doesn't offer any of it's special magic until it's actually, connected,
to the application in which you want to use it, so should be relatively
harmless to just install.
let us know what you'd like to do from here.
Hope this helps.
