Subject: Clickable buttons are skipped in Jaws
No previous message | Next message →

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?

Thanks

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

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

You're probably using jaws key plus f7 to get the list of links. This will
only show links, and not any other elements. If you want a list of the
elements that Jaws can list, press jaws key plus F3. One of those elements
is buttons.

Cheers

Question, how are the buttons and links coded? Are they actually a roll of button and link? If not then jaws my not detect them. What happens when you use NVDA.

My experience is the part

What do you mean by the buttons are links? If you have

<a role="button"></a>

Then the link is no longer a link in the accessibility tree. It's a button
(because you told it was a button) so it will show up in the button list.
