Richard, try another screen reader, to see if it is a problem with in the
screen reader, or not.
Satogo or nvda will work for that test.
You can also try a window-eyes demo.
Maybe switch to another browzer to see if you get the same problem.
Unfortunately, no screen reader is best at everything.

Subject: OT - Accessibility Problem with "Ham Test Online" Website

Hi!

 

I signed up for the General Class section on hamtestonline
(http://www.hamradiolicenseexam.com/index.html).  I use JAWS with Windows 7.
Initially, checking radio buttons was working fine.  But then, instead of
checking a particular radio button by pressing the spacebar I decided to try
"clicking" on the answer itself by pressing Enter.  Since then, I am not
able to select anything including radio buttons, regular buttons, links and
so on.  JAWS reads everything fine, but when for example on a radio button
and then pressing the spacebar JAWS only will say "radio button not
selected."  Oddly, so far, this happens only on the "Study" pages within
this website.  Everything else (radio buttons, links, etc.) works fine on
all other pages within the website.

 

So, does anyone have a way of addressing this?  Alternatively, does anyone
have a recommendation for a more accessible website?

 

73,
