Re: Mozilla successes.



Hi Norman,

As you surmise, it is not the browser's fault. We've tracked down the bug to the text field being marked as read-only (something I suspect our automated web page accessibility test tools didn't catch). We're working on fixing that in our web site now...

A valid question is whether Mozilla should attempt to override such a statement when in caret navigation mode. Thoughts?

Hello, listers.
Last week I downloaded the source tarball for the Sun Mozilla accessibility
build dated 10/14/2004, and compiled it on a fresh Fedora Core 2 system
running gnopernicus 0.8.1 and Gnome 2.6.
I am very glad to say those of you working on this build of mozilla are
doing a good job with the carot browsing mode and accessibility in general.
I was able to successfully navigate my own web site, switch around from
frame to frame, fill out forms, and do a few downloads which means mozilla
is now almost ready for some serious testing from the VI Linux comunity.
The only major problem I had was when I attempted to download the Sun jdk
1.5.0. Things were going fine until the license agreement on the Sun web
site popped up and for the life of me I could not get mozilla to find the I
accept check box and the continue button to proceed to the download area.
In fact it would not even read the license agreement at all. All it would
say was multiline text everyline I was on despite I could tell the carot was
in the text of the license agreement.
Over all, I think mozilla is coming along nicely. Access isn't perfect, but
I can easily see once  a few problems are worked out like the Sun license
agreement page work without problems dropping Internet Explorer forever and
attaching myself to the Gnome desktop for browsing. I like Mozilla that
much, and I am very impressed.
