Subject: Re: [WebAIM] Clickable buttons are skipped in Jaws
> Hello, I am new with accessibility. I am testing some HTML pages and
noticed that when I ask Jaws to show me the list of links on the page, it
does so expect it does not show the buttons (which are also links). What is
the cause of this?

>There is a separate keystroke to show all buttons -- control+JAWSKey+B.

Jonathan

UPon arriving on a page, shouldn't Jaws announce the number of buttons on
the screen? It only announces the number of links.
