Description

I'm having trouble with other screenreaders and Java aplets on the internet when using online bancking. NVDA needs Java support then I could use it for almost everything I need when browsing the web. Will this bee possible one day?

Just a little note to add. NVDA already has some support for java applications. It uses java access bridge.
I have tryed a few java applets just for test and it seems all of those I have tryed so far can't be navigated using keyboard. However by using object navigation I am able to see the contents.
If we'd like to do this properly perhaps this will require a bit of cooperationwith browser and / or java developers.
Actually I have never seen java application which can really be fully accessible using any screen reader under windows. I am afraid even if we have great interface - meaning java access bridge there are many different implementations which don't follow it.

Hello!

I just tried to use object-navigation in the aplet which I'm having trouble
with.
I have to select a user-id in a box and the only thing NVDA said was:
Unknown java object.

Can I send you the URL to the page so you can try it out yourself?

Thanks for your reply. I didn't know that NVDA supported Java.
Sorry!
My address is:
tbd@coolfortheblind.dk
maybe you can tell me how to do this right...?

Best regards
Thomas
