Hi Don,
The remove element is poorly designed, meaning Netflix did not use a standard control such as a link or a button when marking up this element. They also did not take the steps needed so you can interact with the remote element using the keyboard. Shame on them! Instead they chose to use a generic span element and added an HREF attribute that points to a function that causes the DVD to get removed when the remove element is clicked with the mouse pointer. I just gave this a whirl with Window-Eyes 9 on my Windows 8.1 PC. I tested both Internet Explorer 11 and Firefox 35. I struck out with Internet Explorer 11, meaning I could not get the mouse pointer to route to the remove element. But, in Firefox 35, I was able to navigate to the remove element in Browse Mode, then route the mouse and perform a single left click. Boom, the DVD was removed from the Queue. I hope you find this info helpful.

From: "Donald L. Roberts" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2015 11:36:51 -0800 This question pertains to the use of Window-eyes and the Netflix DVD queue, not to the streaming service. I am presently running beta 3 as I have not decided whether to upgrade. I know of course that time is running out in terms of making a decision. Regarding the Netflix DVD queue, I want to delete an entry and wonder whether this is possible using Window-eyes 9. Window-eyes sees a button which says remove which is not clickable. Both JFW and NVDA see this button as well. I am calling it a button but don't know the correct terminology for its actual identity. At any rate, NVDA shows 10 columns, of which delete is 9. But the bottom line is that I am unable to activate it, regardless of which screen reader I use. I am assuming this is a graphic but don't know. If so, how can a screen reader even see the word remove? Ideas please! Thanks in advance. Don Roberts If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
