I really wish they would fix the tables all over their site. Even my personal
library of books thus purchased is a mess too. VO will not go down past the
first detail row in the table. It jumps from row 3 back up to row 1 even if
you have a dozen rows in the table. I have never seen this ano
The sale has been extended to Wednesday 3 October.
Also, and more importantly, Take Control have an accessible version of their
catalog. It can be found here:

This is just a complete list of all their books in an accessible table. It is

I think you can use this coupon as many times as you want before the sale runs
out. Cheryl's suggestion of using tab and shift tab to navigate is very
robust. There's another way you can view all the listed books: one of the
entries under links that shows up after all the specific topics is "Y
When I used tab and shift-tab, the checkbox and the title of the book were
associated so that I didn't have any problem telling what I was ordering. They
were spoken together and as long as I didn't try to use vo-keys but just the
space bar, each checkbox was checked though it didn't say "checke
Thanks to you and Esther, I managed to order 4 books so far. It is a strange
experience indeed. I had some problem associating checkboxes with the right
books though but I was probably mix and matching when to use VO modifiers keys.
It was almost easier to add more books to the cart and then
Okay, here's what I did.
I started where it says buy selected books button. i tabbed through the titles
and hit the spacebar only (not vo-space) to check the boxes. I was able to
simply hit enter/return on the category choice; I wanted to see all books. But
since I was then at the bottom of the
Hi Steve,
I don't need to use mouse keys to check the boxes on the Take Control site (see
my previous post), but here's a link to an old post from the macvisionaries

Hi Steve and Others,
I navigated the table entries by setting the web rotor to form controls. Then
if you use VO-U you can move down the list to the item you want and use
VO-Space or your Up+Down arrow keys to check/uncheck the box. By default the
listed entries will be set to "Mountain Lion",
I'm trying to figure out how to use the mouse keys again; I've only done this
some while ago. I certainly cannot find the checkboxes. Any review possible?
I can't seem to find anything in VO helps about mouse keys either.
Sorry for so much trouble. If these books weren't that interesting, I w
Hello Steve,
I've just had a look at this table and it's a total mess! I can get further
down through it by using mousekeys, but the VoiceOver cursor won't go there.
This site is renowned for being horrible to navigate in any case.
Sorry not to have a better solution, but mousekeys is all that
I just went to a familiar transit site and looked up a bus schedule and that
table navigated just fine. So it is the table on the Take Control Books site
that doesn't work for me.
Any ideas out there on how to get around their table?
