HI Alex,
Webspots do not work the same way as hotspots. Webspots are accessible by VO
even when they are off-screen.
However, if the element that the webspot refers to is no longer present on the
page, I'm not sure the webspot would still be present. Are you saying that your
webspot
The first one. A forum had five responses on it, and my web spot was on the
heading after the last response. Then the forum got a new response, making it
six. My web spot moved to that sixth response, which is where the heading used
to be. One more update and my web spot was completely gone.
On
I guess that makes sense, but as you said, it is a really odd approach to take
for a visually impaired audience. Do Web Spots work the same way? I set one on
a forum, and when a new post came in, the spot stayed put, meaning that, as the
page was now longer, the spot had moved up the page. The
Hi all,
I am working on a Safari article for new Mac users, and I thought I'd cover
hotspots and web spots. Now, though, I don't know if I should. Here's what i
did to try out hotspots:
1. I went to an open page in Safari, navigated to a heading partway down it,
and pressed vo-shift-1.
2. I
Hi Alex,
I believe you may be seeing an issue where the heading you marked is no longer
visible.
When a hotspot moves out of the visible screen area or somehow becomes
invisible, VoiceOver can no longer move to it.
So no, hotspots are not broken. One just needs to understand that these are
the
page and VO command left bracket takes you to the previous web spot and up the
page. For the longest time this process was reversed confusing me for pages I
know very well and had set web spots. Can anyone confirm that the web spots in
safari works properly in Mavericks? Thanks, I love web
Hey Art, No you are not losing it. HA This reverse web spot and
scrolling completely shocked me, glad I am not the only one, and the
Apple realizes it is an issue. I assume it should be something easy to
fix in the next patch as I can't get use to hit right to go left.

Hi,
The scrolling is not a bug though. Thats how they intend scrolling to be. Its
like the scolling in IOS.

Hey guys, just wanted to give you an update as I did report this
misnavigation or reverse navigation to Apple, and they didn't know
about it and will be working on it. I to do not make enough use of my
trackpad just so comfortable with the keyboard for everything.

Brian, I monitor macvisionaries for my blind almost-12 year old
grandchild. Unfortunately she is more interested in anime than
practicing typing.
I noticed with ML that the scroll wheel on my trackball was going in the
wrong direction. At my ancient age i assumed i had just forgotten how
Thanks for reporting it Brian. As I mentioned earlier, if both the Help Viewer
and VO Keyboard Practice say that it is to go the way you expect, then it
certainly is a bug. Reporting it is the best way to address it. Simply
creating a new key combination yourself doesn't help the new users.
Hi Art,
I wonder if there is just something changed in your system Preferences. In
Lion, Apple introduced something called Natural Scrolling where scrolling
happens the opposite to the way we were accustomed to in previous versions of
the MacOS. I know for sure that this messed up many of us
Awesome idea, I really don't make enough use of the track pad commander

I actually thought webspots didn't work anymore, thanks to your message I see
that they just have been inverted.
I kept recreating my webspots and it would consistently say no webspots set
afterward…
Thanks

Hey all,
Hey all,
I posted once about this but got no response, so wanted to try again.
I make use of setting webspots and sweet spots on the pages I go to a
lot, as I find this makes navigating a page much faster. Anyway, all
of my webspots have been reversed in mountain lion. what I mean is to
scroll
Hi,
as far as I can tell, there is no way to change this. I personally don't find
it much of a big deal. after a couple of days, I was just use to the change. I
suggest writing apple accessibility if you find this to be a major concern.

Hi Brian,
No, sorry, I don't use web spots but after looking into this a little for you,
I certainly see the advantages. I've just got used to using the Item Chooser
and such as the web spots weren't available when I first started using VO. It
looks like this is a bug to me. If you read in
I use web spots all the time. I love them. I have talked about them on my
YouTUbe channel. They are a great tool!
