Re: Voiceover on sites with Ajax, was Re: Any progress?
Hello Justin Sorry about the misunderstanding there. It was late, and I guess I took things a bit out of context. But to get back to the original subject, I still can't use that site with VoiceOver once I get to our library. Lynne has to download the books for me as I can't make VO behave at all.

Re: Voiceover on sites with Ajax, was Re: Any progress?
The reason we maintain separate bookshelves is that if you buy from us, you're not registered with the publishers. But, of course, anybody is at perfect liberty to buy from the publishers directly if they wish. I still maintain though that we are offering value for money, even if the site was accessible with VoiceOver. Windows users could probably use the site fine, I haven't tried it. But it's a case of each to their own. If people buy books from Travis, Travis handles the transactions directly. We are, however, perfectly happy to provide access to people's books in the same way as if they bought from us directly. All they'd have to do is send us proof of purchase and we could set it up. There was one suggestion a while ago that we were making money out of people by doing this. I can't deny I was pretty annoyed by that accusation because, in actual fact, we make nothing out of it. We do it purely as a courtesy and the same goes for Travis. If you have an account on their site, go and try to access your books. I think you'll soon understand the issues.

Hi Gordon, I'm a bit confused then. Where, exactly, is the problem? I'm able to see my current books and redownload the PDFs just fine. Can you give exact directions?

Re: Voiceover on sites with Ajax, was Re: Any progress?
Hi Nic Right, maybe it depends upon how many books you have. But if I click on our book heading, as in Gordon Lynne Smith's Books, as I try to navigate the table all I get is repeatedly: Click the PDf download to download your book or something similar. Sometimes if I'm lucky I can navigate to the PDF link to download the file. But usually it's a total mess.

Re: Voiceover on sites with Ajax, was Re: Any progress?
Hi Nicolai, It is possible to get books that you have purchased through the Mac-access service included in your library on the take control site. This is what I have done. Reading a book in preview, the text Check for updates at the beginning of the book is a link even though VO doesn't recognize it. Click this text with vo shift space to go to the site, and then login. This will add the book to your library.

Re: Voiceover on sites with Ajax, was Re: Any progress?
Justin If you no longer require your bookshelf here, do you want me to delete it? I could be wrong; but you seem to be implying that we're wasting our time and resources. :) Gordon On 27 Jul 2012, at 17:56, Justin Ekis je...@me.com wrote: It is possible to get books that you have purchased through the Mac-access service included in your library on the take control site. This is what I have done. Reading a book in preview, the text Check for updates at the beginning of the book is a link even though VO doesn't recognize it. Click this text with vo shift space to go to the site, and then login. This will add the book to your library.

I've been meaning to get other titles, actually, but I just haven't purchased others through the Take Control site. The other books I do have I have received through your service. It'd be interesting to hear a recording of this.

I can try and make a recording for you to demo what is happening. Gordon On 27 Jul 2012, at 12:11, Nicolai Svendsen chojiro1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Hmm, that's curious. Mine appear as links within the different cells. I wonder if that might indeed have something to do with it, then.

But if I click on our book heading, as in Gordon Lynne Smith's Books, as I try to navigate the table all I get is repeatedly: Click the PDf download to download your book or something similar. Sometimes if I'm lucky I can navigate to the PDF link to download the file. But usually it's a total mess.

I'm able to see my current books and redownload the PDFs just fine. Can you give exact directions? Regards, Nicolai On Jul 27, 2012, at 10:23 AM, Gordon Smith gor...@mac-access.net wrote: The reason we maintain separate bookshelves is that if you buy from us, you're not registered with the publishers. But, of course, anybody is at perfect liberty to buy from the publishers directly if they wish. I still maintain though that we are offering value for money, even if the site was accessible with VoiceOver. Windows users could probably use the site fine, I haven't tried it. But it's a case of each to their own. If people buy books from Travis, Travis handles the transactions directly. We are, however, perfectly happy to provide access to people's books in the same way as if they bought from us directly. All they'd have to do is send us proof of purchase and we could set it up. There was one suggestion a while ago that we were making money out of people by doing this. I can't deny I was pretty annoyed by that accusation because, in actual fact, we make nothing out of it. We do it purely as a courtesy and the same goes for Travis. If you have an account on their site, go and try to access your books. I think you'll soon understand the issues.

However, I had wondered why there was a separate bookshelf for us. I'm curious what kind of issues Voiceover users have reported with the Take Control site. I've found it easy to go there and quickly check to see if there have been any updates to the few books I own.
