Hi Esthre, I've tried this on both the mac and my windows 7 machines and I get similar things happening. I don't have trouble clicking the continue button, it just wont go to the following / final review order page. And I can't figureout why. It's like I've got something wrong or missing, but I can't find anything after going throughthe entire page link by link and edit box by edit box.
I'm starting to question whether or not my NZ credit card can actually work on this site. Do they allow for international purchases. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Esther Sent: Friday, 22 October 2010 3:00 a.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Teaching Mac to sighted people Hi Simon, When you have entered your credit card information, route your mouse to the "Continue" button (with VO-Command-F5, if you do not have your mouse cursor set to track your VoiceOver cursor) and use VO-Shift- Space to click the button. You'll be taken to a "Confirm Order" page which should contain your STANZACAT discount, if you entered the coupon code earlier. Click the "Finish Order" button to complete your transaction. If you ever encounter a situation where a button press does not seem to "take" with VO-Space, try clicking the button. Technically, VO- Space should perform the default action for any situation, which in this case is to click the button. There are some cases where VO-Shift- Space (which I refer to as a "software click") does not work, but where clicking with your trackpad or mouse button ("hardware clicks") will work. Remember to first route your mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor before you press your trackpad key (or the whole trackpad in recent MacBook models) or mouse button to click, if you have not set your mouse cursor to track your VoiceOver cursor in VoiceOver Utility. Pressing the "5" key on the numeric keypad with Numpad Commander turned on also counts as a "hardware click"; it will work in those same cases where clicking a mouse or trackpad works when VO-Shift-Space and VO-Space do not work to click a button. Incidentally, I've read that you can now purchase the O'Reilly eBooks in iBooks, but I don't think that you get the DAISY and PDF versions of the book when you do so, and I don't believe you can use any discount codes. The eBook bundle purchases you make directly from the O'Reilly site should also update if there are any minor revisions or corrections, or additional eBook formats made available. HTH.
