Re: reading from links that just expand question
Thank you both so much. I never even considered that it would have anything to do with groups mode. So, I switched to DOM mode and then voiceover read the expanded text. It worked. :) I had not used DOM mode for anything before. It never occurred that DOM mode would allow me to access those things. Strangely voiceover still read the expanded text after I switched back to groups mode. Since you both taught me this little trick, I went to the keyboard commander to set up the toggle between groups and Dom modes. I'm just so glad to know of this little trick as I have encountered this issue before on other web sites and now I have hope that I can try toggleing the mode to get voiceover to read the text that seems to expand off of a link. :) Thanks, Christina On Sep 22, 2009, at 2:44 AM, Krister Ekstrom wrote: 22 sep 2009 kl. 04.47 skrev Justin Harford: Do you use groups mode?

reading from links that just expand question
Hi list, I am trying to read a page of FAQ's. The problem is that when I click on the link for the question, some text just kind of expands from the link and I cannot access the text with the vo arrow keys nor can I interact with it. It's as if the text with the answer does not even exist on the page. I know this is happening because my hubby told me. I have encountered this on other websites in the past. Is there a way to access that text so that voiceover will read it to me? I hope the above all made sense. :) Thanks, Christina --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Why don't you send us the URL so we could varify what you are talking about. J On Sep 21, 2009, at 7:20 PM, Christina wrote: Hi list, I am trying to read a page of FAQ's.
