Dave and list, Dave has listed the methods I would try when frustrated by a "confirm" or "purchase" button. In IE11, I find that if I can't locate the button with the JAWS cursor, chances are nothing is going to work. However, websites that don't work with IE11 are increasingly working for me with Chrome. Dean Martineau's newsletter this past week links to a lecture on browser accessibility. Referring to HTML5 content, the speaker said that IE11 picks up only 50% of controls. Chrome and Firefox were somewhere in-between, and Edge is at 100%. These percentages don't reflect my browser experience. For example, she gave a higher percentage to Firefox than Chrome, but my experience with Firefox 60 is so bad that I've given up on it. I imagine the reason for the difference between the speaker's numbers and my experience is that HTML5 is only one coding system that websites use. All the same, the percentages suggest that IE11 is falling further and further behind. I hate to promote Chrome because its file menu system is so cumbersome and often not intuitive. But in terms of speed and greater access to Web content, it seems to be the best at this moment, May 20, 2018.

And to find a button, you use Insert+F5, not F7.

I selected a DIY frame, and a combo list was presented with a style type to pick. But regardless, I was not able to work the buttons after that. But I did see a thread on the JFW list with a similar issue in selecting something on the screen. Here is that solution: To select the tick box with JAWS, simply press the bypass key, JAWS key+3 then space bar. This will tick it. Give that a try and let us know.

There are no elements other than the quantity edit field which is set to 1 by default and the add to shopping cart button. You enter the quantity of the item you want if if it is more than 1 and click on the button to add it to your cart. But no keystroke will activate it with JAWS or any other screen reader.

For a simple example, if the quantity edit field is blank, then a number needs first to be entered. In other cases, I've seen where a size or a color choice must first be selected before the button can be activated. There are so many variables in a simple shopping app that is dependent on the item itself, that it's hard to pin down a specific problem related to JAWS.

Insert plus F7, arrow to the link if necessary and tab down to activate link and press enter. Could be I am all wet but it's worth a try. Tom -----Original Message----- From: Judy Sent: Saturday, May 19, 2018 7:30 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] unable to add to cart Just a comment about the fact that I just went to two different websites to purchase items and in both of them I was unable to add the item to my cart. I am so sick of this. I can look it up and find it, but then can't get anything to work to add to the cart. I tried three browsers and none of them worked. I know my jaws is old, jaws 14, but honestly shouldn't something work? Any ideas are appreciated. I know homicide is out!
