Finding chat

The Neoportal Chat link is dead last in the reading order. I resorted to finding it in the list of links.

Make a heading at the same level as the other hidden headings that precede blocks of page structure.

SAK-22027 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Any

The number of connections is repeated every few seconds ad infinitum in JAWS. VoiceOver doesn't do this.

Posting message

VoiceOver correctly announces message text on send. JAWS does not.

Receiving message

Neither JAWS nor VoiceOver announces message text when received.

Message history

OK

Opening chat

After clicking on the chat link, nothing is announced when the chat box was opened.

Duplicate links

<name> message link is identical to <name> "my connections" link. No way of differentiating between the two.

Text entry

Text entry field in chat is not labeled.

Plug-in requirement?

I never could determine what Plug-in I needed to avoid the error message when sending messages in Firefox, therefore was unable to proceed with the Firefox testing. Tried all the usual suspects (Quicktime, Flash, etc.) to no avail. Why should I need ANY plug-in for Sakai?
