Jaws with facebook?
|
Kurt Streuber <tele1974@...>
Hello all, new member here, hoping to pick your brains on using jaws
with facebook. Up until recently I had no issues navigating facebook, but as of late, I'm unable to navigate through anything on any page of FB. I can tab and hear certain links, but the arrow keys don't read any text, and hitting E for edit fields, H for headings nor any other commands seem to work. Nor does using jaws cursor. I'mm using jaws 12 with windows 7. Just wondering if anyone has any insight as to what could be going on? Thanks very much, Kurt

I don't have any problems getting through the official or mobile facebook site with IE 10 or 11 with jaws.

FS did a webinar on FaceBook. It's on their web site.

I'm using JAWS 15 on Win7 with IE 11 and I have always found Facebook to be
difficult to use. In particular, tabbing into text edit fields frequently fails to enable autoforms mode, and focus is left on another control, which means that if I hit enter (which I would normally do in a text box to enable autoforms mode), another control gets activated. Often, the control that gets activated incorrectly is the button to upload a file, which means that Internet Explorer puts me in a file open dialog. This incorrect behavior is really quite frustrating. I've looked at the FS documentation designed specifically for FB usage, but I haven't found it to be helpful at all. I've also seen an article about WAI-ARIA controls in FB, and this article was also not helpful. I'm currently using FB primarily from an iOS device with VoiceOver. This works really well, although the capabilities are of course rather limited compared to the full FB site. I'll be upgrading to JAWS 16 in a few days, and I'll post back here if I experience a noticeable improvement. -Paul

This is just a guess, maybe they made a change in such a way that JAWS

12 can't read it anymore. That version of JAWS is several years old. Does that happen?

I have to be honest. I keep both Internet Explorer 11 and Firefox (whatever version is current this week) on my computer. Flash stuff works better in IE, and things with active content like Paul describes here are more effectively managed in Firefox. I've found that when activating little popup dialogs within web pages, Firefox is more likely to get the memo that something has been added without having to force the screen to redraw. It is for this reason that I have switched to Firefox as my primary browser. But there are some sites, mostly that I use for work, which function better with IE.

What the original post described, Facebook not reading when moving around etc., almost sounds like what happens to me in Google Chrome. But I do have one thought. Are you hearing JAWS say "Application Mode On"? In Internet Explorer, and especially on older computers with older JAWS versions, that "application mode" will make me crazy. That type of stuff works better in Firefox for the most part. For the record, I'm not having any trouble doing what I do on Facebook using Firefox. As has been discussed on this list previously, tagging people is much easier in Firefox than Internet Explorer 11, although I think I could do it when I had IE 10. Hope this is helpful, Brad

Brad,

Your experience with different browsers is very helpful and has persuaded me to download Firefox. I have found that with FB it is difficult at times to know what has the current focus with IE11 as well. Thanks for the information. Any problems with having both Firefox and IE both on your system at the same time, such as changing defaults as part of updates? Thanks. Bob
