Re: [orca-list] Dropbox Inaccessible!

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Works good with Jaws and Firefox.  No problems using the iPhone to access it
either.  Looks like it's a Linux-specific issue with Firefox and Orca.  I
bet it's because it's got lots of Ajax in there.  Ajax doesn't always play
nice with Orca, I think.  It's why the regular facebook interface doesn't do
well with Orca ... all that ajax.  If you ever have to go on that website to
tweak something, just use a different OS till things improve on Linux.

When I launched dropboxd to start the daemon, it immediately jumpped into a
gnome dialog as expected. I have no idea how one could run that program
outside an X environment. I have seen reference to some script that can
supposedly run dropbox stuff after installation; not too shure how that all
works yet.

As for the web interface, Safari on the Mac handled it pretty well but
Firefox does rather poorly on Windows with Window-eyes but surprisingly, it
seemed even worse with firefox and orca.  I couldn't even find my main top
level directory on the website after logging in.

Sometimes it is necessary to do things on their horrid website and I had
hoped orca would have had a better view of it. That's why I ask if anyone
has had better luck; maybe there's some settings to improve the experience?
