Is there no longer a screen reader mode on the application like there used
to be?  Regardless, try turning off Automatic Page Refresh.  This should
help.--Joe

Subject: [Cabs-talk] accessibility of the FAFSA

Hello everyone,
    In years past, the FAFSA has been very accessible. They 
redesigned it
for this year however, and I believe therein lies the problem I'm
experiencing. 
    I'm attempting to fill out the 2011-2012 FAFSA using I.E. 7 
and JAWS 10
and am finding it very difficult to navigate. The cursor 
continually jumps
around the page so that I might be answering question 10 for 
example only to
find that I am suddenly reading question 5. Also, when I do a 
search for my
school codes the results are not rendered in a way that JAWS 
can read them.
Is anyone else having the same problem? 
I'll try it with Firefox later and let you know how it works. 
thanks,
Angela
