[Athen] Sub-lists

[Russell Solowoniuk]

Hi Robert,

That's probably because I sent it in plain text format as opposed to HTML. We use GroupWise as our email client, and, if I try to compose email messages in HTML format, Jaws won't read what I type.

Sorry about that! :)

Hmmm, the way this list read was very confusing because it did not maintain the HTML code.  This is quite different from what I received in my original message.  Interesting.

Hi Karen,

Jaws read the list fine, but, I am finding the list a bit confusing as well. Why are the last two items in the list, "Passwork/Email and Grades" separated from the first 3 items? Do they belong to "Section 1_2"? Not being able to "see" the list does make it a little hard to understand.

Thanks,

Russell

Hi Colleagues,
In working with a screen reader user, she expressed confusion about a sub-list. JAWS just read "list of 5 items" but before it reached the end of those  5 items, it read "list of 1 item". She thought something was wrong because it hadn't read all of the five items. Is there a better way to mark this up so it's obvious the list of 1 item is a sub-list?
I asked if she could tell it was a sub-list because it hadn't reached the end of the 5 items yet, but she was more inclined to not believe the "list of 5 items" was correct.
and  Here's the list:

   - Main Menu
   - Courses
   - Homework Sets
      - Section 1_2
   - Passwork/Email
   - Grades

Thanks!

Karen
