Tagging on Facebook with Jaws
|
Kimber Gardner
Hi All,
I've read that I should be able to tag friends in Facebook posts by typing the @ sign followed by the name of the friend. Supposedly when I start typing the name, a list of choices should appear from which I ought to be able to select the friend I want to tag. This doesn't happen for me with either firefox or internet explorer. Am I missing something? Or is tagging not possible when using a screen reader? Thanks, Kim -- Kimberly |

This works while using IE10 on the official facebook site.

It only works on the regular FB site. The mobile site don't let you do that.

I have not gotten that to work on the mobile Facebook site, but if you click on more options, you should be able to see an option that says to tag friends.

This is correct. You can tab before you post, and it will say, "With

so-and-so." But in mobile, you can't say Having dinner with @Kimber and get it to populate. This is because the Mobile version of the site does not include the technology to autopopulate the field; it probably uses java script, which is not part of the mobile site. When using the regular facebook site, I could tag in IE10 but not IE11, and I could always tag in Firefox.

I have IE9 at my office and tagging does seem to be working there. Tonight I'll give it a try with Firefox at home. Thank you so much for all the help! Kim Hope that helps, -- Kimberly |

have found that I can't do some things others routinely do. I can not navigate the regular format with jaws 11. I tried to send a file via facebook using the mobile version i.e., m.facebook.com, but could not do it. I still can't fill out my profile to my liking. I accidentally listed a place of employment that was not a place I had worked, but someone else had worked and never got that fixed until a sighted friend helped remove it. Let us know if you figure out how to tag. Brian On 11/5/14, Kimber Gardner via Jfw <jfw@...> wrote:
