RE: Short Survey for CSUN

Survey worked fine for me using JAWS 2020. Tried it in Chrome and Firefox. I tried both tabbing and reading through it.

BTW, I tell JAWS to default to semi-auto forms mode, not auto forms mode. That does improve the experience when reading through the form. However, the survey works as expected with the default settings too.

JAWS 2019 goes into forms mode if you tab into the textboxes. However, it does not do so if you are in virtual cursor mode. It should, and it does on other websites.

It may be a problem with Jaws 2019 in that case. I've just tried the form in Chrome with Jaws 2020 in auto-forms mode and tabbing onto the first field triggers forms mode as expected.
