Hi Marian, I don't have time myself to campaign on this one. Maybe the
Vics committee could follow this up.
However, thinking about Tesko and having said that we don't have one in
Skib, I could in fact shop in Tesko on-line by getting my son to pick up a
box, if it were already packed, on his way home from work, at the shopping
centre on the edge of Cork and drop it to the ferry which comes to the
island. It is strange how easily one forgets the flexibility of on-line
shopping, there is no need to be within the normal delivery range of the
shop. Anyway I'm not sure I should divide my custom too much since a local
Supervalu, local as in Skibbereen almost 20 miles away by land and sea, have
been delivering four days a week to our ferry.
This website problem is very important though. apart from the obvious
advantage of a usable site to immediate customers, the propaganda value of
being able to quote Tesko as an example of a fully accessible site would be
of great worth in persuading other companies.
all The Best
Ed

Hi Ed, I totally agree with you but what are we going to do about it.
There is a Tesco store here in Galway, I have not used the site myself yet
but might need it in the future. Regards Marian

We haven't got a Tesko in Skibbereen, as flor mentioned the other day,
but if they are not selling fig rolls they needn't bother coming!
You're right of course Audrey that this kind of way of doing things with
on-line sales, especially with a company the size of Tesko, which really
should be able to afford to pay for a proper reconstruction including
accessibility in the design. With 50 million disabled citizens in the EU,
and probably a lot more who aren't defined as such, particuliarly with the
vip population who tend to skew to the older age group, which might both
want its shopping delivered anyway, plus not defining itself as "disabled",
just not being able to see as well as they used to, you would think the
company would realise that this is a good marketing device.
All the Best
Ed

Hi Flor,
I appreciate you emailing with your suggestions, however, Amazon
website and Tesco websites are not constructed by using the same "funny
constructs" that is to say, Tesco uses ordinary links, and standard forms
with fields, buttons etc. therefore, there is no point trying to
double-click and use any of the JAWS tricks used for accessing Amazon. It
is about time, Tesco integrated the "accessible" site into the main site,
and made all accessible instead of having two "fairly dodgy" sites!
This could be an ongoing dilemma if we as a group in society don't put
pressure on the powers that be so as to realise change!
p.s. Has anyone had a difficulty in finding Fig-rolls and other
biscuits on the access site? we never seem to be able to find certain items
that we should have in the various categories?

Maybe, if you double left-click (route JAWS to PC, then hit
left-click once or twice) instead of enter, it will confirm your order?
Such is the way with some of the Amazon sites arund the place. If you
pprefer, turn off Forms Mode with Insert+z before doing this. (I have no
Tesco store, locally.)

Hi Maria!
Yes, I experienced exactly the same. I'd say it's Tesco's fault.
They've
recently made some changes and since then I've had this problem.
In my
case it did work after several attempts though.
Just to make sure I'll forward this to VICS. It is conceivable
that we
need to change our browser settings to correspond with what ever
they've
done to the site. But I doubt it.
Cheers,
Robbie

Hi folks.
Last night I did my Tesco shopping on line as usual. This time
however
I've
had some very annoying problems with tesco access site.
First off, almost every time I'd press the add selected products
to
basket
button or the update your basket button, I'd get this message
telling
me
that such page was not found on tesco.ie web site, therefore I
ended up
going back to the previous page and pressing the button again. It
usually
worked when I did it the second time round. When I got to
checkout
however
and pressed the confirm my order button, I got that stupid message
again
no
matter how many times I went back and tried again!
At the end I had to do my ordering via the main tesco site and
that was
some
very big pain in the neck! I nearly had an apoplectic shock by the
time
I
finally managed to put my order through.
What I'd like to know is this: had anybody else experienced the
same
problem with the tesco access site lately or is it just me?
The reason I need to know is because if someone else experienced
this,
then
we've got a problem with the site once again and we'd need to
bring it
to
the attention of the site developers. If however it's just me,
then
there
must be something wrong with my own internet settings and there
would be
no
need to disturb anyone at tesco if that is the case.
I'd be very grateful if someone could either let me know if they'd
had
problems lately or if indeed someone wouldn't mind logging into
the
tesco
access site and adding a few items to their basket and then
removing
some
items and pressing the update basket button in order to see if
the
problem
is with the site.
Thanks a million in advance,
Maria.
