Hi Edie,

The menu is the item called Braille bookstore, right? I've gotten very  
odd results with it. Window-Eyes 7.01, which I'm pretty sure is the  
latest version, didn't see it at all. JAWS 11 identified it as a menu  
the first time I visited the page. When I focused on it and pressed  
Enter, I could tab to items called Menu Item 1, Menu Item 2, etc.  
However, I couldn't seem to get out of the menu and read the rest of  
the page. I ended up closing Internet Explorer and reloading the page.  
This time, JAWS identified the item as a bulleted list item, so I  
wouldn't have known it was a menu. When I pressed Enter, I was able to  
tab to menu items and didn't get stuck. The difference could be partly  
in the fact that this is a beta of JAWS. With JAWS 10, I couldn't  
access that much. But clearly this is cutting-edge technology, and I'm  
not sure how many people will be able to take advantage of it. If you  
like, I'll try to find someone more knowledgeable about Web 2.0  
accessibility that you and the developer can talk to, so you get more  
technical info. I can tell you what I'm experiencing, but I don't know  
enough about all of this to make constructive suggestions for making  
it work better.

Best,
Anna
