[nfbcs] When to turn off the Jaws virtual cursor

[Mike Freeman]

Remember also that JAWS rearranges things in such a manner that it thinks
its presentation easier to listen to. Hence, the order isn't always the same
as might show on a display.

Mike, I did try routing Jaws to PC, but still the Jaws cursor was not where
I thought it would be, and other page elements were displayed differently
with the Jaws cursor than with the PC cursor.  I'll try the navigating with
caret option, and see if that helps.

Tracy:

Can't you route the JAWS cursor to the "PC Cursor" when in virtual mode,
then hit the left-click button?
Sometimes turning the Virtual cursor off will help one get to a particular
place on the page but in my experience, it doesn't help with this sort of
situation as one generally doesn't have immediate access to material that
one can't get to with the Tab or Shift-tab keys. But I'm not an expert on
using web pages without the virtual Cursor.

Also, if you're using IE, have you tried turning on Caret Browsing with F7?
Don't know if this helps visually but it does allow selecting of text with
the keyboard so it might be worth a try.

I have heard people here say they sometimes turn off the Jaws virtual cursor
to make a website work better.  Could someone give an example of when to try
this?

The MS Web Publishing website I was being trained on seems to require
clicking with the Jaws mouse, and the Jaws mouse is not where the PC cursor
is.  I was switching to the Jaws cursor, finding the place I want, then
clicking.  Would this be the kind of thing where turning off the Jaws
virtual cursor might help?

Thanks.

Tracy
