[nfbcs] Issue With JAWS and Windows 10

[Cathy Schroeder]

Thanks for this. I was doing some of this. I had already moved FAVORITES to
DROPBOX so I could access it from anywhere. All I need to do now is use your
cut and paste strategy instead of using add to Favorites.

Cathy,

I use a browser-independent short-cut strategy.

1. make a directory somewhere called favorites.
2. Make a desktop shortcut to the favorites directory.
3. when you want to make a favorite: in the browser hit alt + d to be taken
to the address field, hit control + c to copy the address, open the
favorites directory, open the context menu to new-- shortcut, hit control v
to copy the address of the favorite, tab once to get to the end of the
screen, hit enter, enter the name of the favorite, tab again and hit enter.
You have created a shortcut.  
4. When you want a shortcut, open the favorites directory which is in
alphabetic order, type the first couple of letters of the desired shortcut
until the shortcut is selected, hit enter, and the website is opened with
your default browser.

This strategy works for all browsers.

Thanks for your response.

I did try Google Chrome and had success. The Applications written by ATP
must currently run in IE.

Yes, IE crashes pretty regularly. Gets a bit annoying.

Question about using FIREFOX: I currently have all kinds of favorites setup
in a dropbox folder that I use a lot. Is there something similar for
FIREFOX? I am guessing it is the book marks. Is there an easy way to get my
favorites into the bookmarks?

Cathy:

Out of curiosity, have you compared the pages between two different browsers
(e.g., Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox)? I am moving away from
Internet Explorer on the theory that Microsoft has ceased to make any
improvements in the program. Firefox, on the other hand, is updated
constantly, and with minor tweaks, it seems to work quite well with JAWS.

I have also tried (but am not satisfied with) Google Chrome. It has a ways
to go yet before I would recommend it.

Regarding JAWS and Internet Explorer, have you run across situations where
Internet Explorer (with JAWS running) will stop working?

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

I have recently upgraded to Windows 10 and have been having issues with
various web sites not reading properly.

 

I am using Jaws 18, latest version, windows 10, and IE11.

 

When I go to linkedin JAWS will not read anything but the menu items. Wen I
use JIRA, many times, JAWS will only read the page header. This occurs when
I try to create a JIRA Defect.

 

Any suggestions?

 

The only suggestion I received from FS was to use Control-TAB or F6, neither
of which worked.
