[Blindtlk] an JAWS question

Well, today's Monday, a good time to call Freedom Scientific if 
you feel so inclined.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President of the National 
Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986.)

Lloyd,

Thank you for explaining this to me.  Saddly what you suggestion 
in the
Insert +Z did not work.  *sigh*

Thanks for the suggestion though, I am going to get this fixed!!!

The virtual buffer is, I believe, the name JAWS uses for the mode 
which is
used to display content in web pages and PDF documents, based on 
information
supplied by Microsoft Active Accessibility and not by the 
off-screen model.
On a web page, while you are in the virtual buffer, keystrokes 
perform
navigation actions such as moving among headings, finding a 
button, next
text, etc.  When your reading takes you into an area where you 
can type or
otherwise interact with a web page, JAWS can automatically switch 
into Forms
Mode so that the keys no longer perform navigation functions.  
The toggle
for the virtual buffer in JAWS is Insert-Z.  In Window-Eyes, this 
buffer is
called Browse Mode and the toggle is ctrl-shift-A.

 Lloyd,

 Before I upgraded my IE version 7.  Things were working well.  
Then for
 whatever reason things stopped working.  When I go to a new 
webpage, it
 does
 start off in the address area.  But using F6 does nothing to 
help read the
 page.

 What is the Virtual buffer?

 I think you might be on to something.

 Sometimes IE 8 comes up with focus on the address bar.  Try 
pressing F6 a
 couple of times and see if this will bring the page into the 
virtual
 buffer.

 I am using JAWS 12.  And I have Internet Explorer 8, with XP.  
when I go
 to
 a
 webpage, Jaws does not read the page.  I know its there, as I 
can use my
 other curser modes, and it will read the page.  But when in the 
PC mode,
 it
 reads nothing.  Seems that this just happened a few days ago, 
before all
 was
 fine.  I originally had IE 7, so updated thinking that was the 
issue.  I
 have
 installed all the windows updates, including all the jaws 
updates.
 Nothing
 has seemed to work.  This is very baffling to me.

 Please help!

 Marsha
