moderated Using JAWS to create a label for a button on a web site, which has no text label
|
Dave Durber
Hello everyone:
The other day, I accessed a web site, which on the whole, was very accessible. Unfortunately, there were 2 problems. the first, was the link, which took you to the shopping basket page. This link had no text lable, to tell a user of a screen reader the purpose of the link. The link is a standard HTML coded link. the second is a standard HTML button, which also does not have a text label. This button is for removing an item from the shopping basket. My question is, is there a way within JAWS, where you can attach labels to specific links and buttons on an individual web site? The link and button on this web site are not graphics Thanks in anticipation. Dave Durber

Could you give the link to that site if it's not private?

Hi Dave,
Here are 2 sets of steps:
From: Carlos
Place focus on the link or button to which you want to assign a label, press Insert+F2, and select "Custom Label" from the list. This has been in JAWS going back at least several versions. These are different features for doing similar things. The "Prompt Creator" and "Graphics Labeler" are used for labeling controls and graphics in applications. The "Custom Label" option is used for labeling HTML elements like buttons and links on webpages. Carlos From: Mauricio Molina
When on the Internet, once you locate a button without a label, press JAWS / Insert Key, Control, + Tab. You will then be asked to type in a label. Mauricio Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. *My body has absorbed so much soap and disinfectant lately that when I pee it cleans the toilet.

Unfortunately, the link and the button I posted about, are on the site after you have logged on with your user name and password. Dave Durber

If you are focused on a link or button, press insert+control+tab to rename an element. I hope this does what you want it to. Thom

Thank you so much for this. I have now labeled the player buttons on the Moody Radio Player for listening live.

Love in Christ Marty For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Ephesians 6:12, 13

Hello Mike:
I used the suggestion you provided from Carlos, on
the web site to which I referred.
I created a text label for the link which
opens the shopping basket page, and I also created a label for the
button, which deletes an item from the shopping basket. Both these now
speak the 2 elements.
However, there is a button on the home page which activates
the search function. JAWS allowed me to create a label for the button. However,
when I entered text for an item in the Search edit field, and tabbed to the
Search button to activate the search, the text label I created for the button,
was not spoken by JAWS. The button to start the search, appears to be an HTML
defined button. so, it is a mystery, why JAWS will not speak the label I created
for it.

Hi Dave,
Have you tried marking that button with a Placemarker
instead? You can then name the placemarker, maybe!

Hi Tom!
Thanks so much, this
While we’re still here, I would like to invite you to visit jw.org. There you will find answers to many questions such as: Why do we suffer? Does God care about me? How can I find true happiness? What is the key to a successful family?
These and more are available on jw.org in over 1000 languages free of charge. Would you welcome a Bible discussion? I’m more than willing to chat.

I have tried to label buttons on a web media player for a radio station
listen live using the Insert + F2 and arrowing down to Custom Label. I am
using JAWS 21 latest build and Windows 7 and Google Chrome. The buttons
work and read correctly until I close the page. When I come back the next
day, the buttons are back to just saying Button when I navigate to them.
Why don’t my labels stick?
Love in
Christ

Hi Marty,

I don't know why JAWS can't remember the labels but personally I think perhaps it's better to make a domain-specific script working only on this particular side. Can you share a web links so I can have a closer look if this is possible? All the best Udo
