This argument was had over an extended time frame between Tesco UK and many in
the blindVI community there when they were going on-line in the early years of
this decade and the last of the previous. It was aired on "In Touch", and no
expertise offered by RNIB et al. could dissuade Tesco from their 'dream' of two
separate but 'equal' sites. (They were claiming that some of the graphical
links on their main site caused trouble for screen readers, and such.)

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.
