Testing this with Jaws 15 and FF24, I observed the following.
Clicking expand/collapse links works consistently every time.
If a section is expanded and I refresh the page, the section
collapses. That is not a Jaws problem, it collapses also visually in
the browser.
Is this the root of the problem Lucy?
We can get to the bottom of this.
Thanks
