Re: [orca-list] odd issue on bookshare's website



Hi,

I was able to visit wihout Orca on three browsers: Chromium,
Opera (12), and latest Firefox on Precise.
Just tabbing in two of those did nothing weird. Opera, who had
its own special way of spatial keyboarding (why I can't upgrade
to the Blink version yet) seemed to be unable to go back up to
either the homepage link or the skip link (I could not got
further back than the login or the search form).

So for sighted keyboarding it's not a Linux thing. However I
checked the code, because I expected either a weird autofocus
event or something. No autofocus, but the code for the logo
is super-convoluted (an empty span holding the logo as a back-
ground image is aria-hidden for some freakish reason), and both
the skip link and the span inside the homepage link are position
absoluted.

I wonder if it has to do with Orca trying to see layout? Layout-
wise, these texts would be sitting directly on top of each other.

Window-Eyes used to have a somewhat similar bug long ago: if
webdevs took something they wanted visually hidden and absolutely
positioned it with a large negative margin (so "above" the top
of the page"), it would read that text when you were browsing the
top of the page, rather than when you encountered where the 
element was in source.

cheers,
_mallory

hi all
I've noticed a strange issue when navigationg to
http://www.bookshare.org. This seems to be either linux specific, or
firefox specific, as I tested with mellisa's windows 7 machine and I
didn't encounter this issue. When the page first loads, try to tab
paste the homepage link. Orca will get stuck on that link. It also
reports both skip to content and bookshare homepage as one link,
saying "bookshare homepage link. Skip to content link" with only one
tab. I'm not sure how to debug this. Looking in the links list, orca
detects them as separate links, so maybe it's something odd with the
site. If not, it's something strange with firefox. Can anyone confirm
this?
Thanks
