[blindlaw] JAWS and Chrome

[Singh, Nandini]

Hi Everyone,

I am sorry for writing so often--many tech issues here. I decided to install Google Chrome and see if that is more stable in terms of keeping JAWS' place on the webpage after I bring an email or wordprocessor into focus and then return to the browser. It looks like it is. However, I am noticing something peculiar on Westlaw. After conducting a search and skimming a list of search results, I apparently cannot click on a given result to review the case or journal article. I tried clicking on the title of the item in addition to the excerpted text that the search highlights as a part of the result entry, but I cannot advance to the page with the full text of the case or article. This is so strange because this is not at all an issue on IE. As far as I can tell, JAWS seems confused as to whether the title is a link or a heading based on what I get when I perform an insert-F1. I also recall that a few of you are able to use Chrome and JAWS when working on Westlaw. I would be grateful if you could let me know if you are using some customizations to make JAWS behave more smoothly on Chrome or if you have additional ideas. For reference, I am using JAWS 2018 and a recent update to Chrome 73.

Thanks,
Nikki
