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

    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?

    Regards:

      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.
