Re: [orca-list] cli-based distro

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

How do you tackle online banking?  What about websites that use dropdowns
and mouse-overs?  Do you ever have trouble with stuff that uses Ajax?  How
do you deal with JQuery elements?

Just wondering,
Alex M

Hi:

Even without javascript you can still read a lot of content and access a lot
of websites with a text only browser. Many pages display in a degraded form,
but if you're blind this doesn't really matter. It also helps to browse a
/mobile version of a website, if one is available.
This is what I do with LinkedIn.
