[Trainer-talk] Internet Issues

[David Goldfield]

I have to agree.  While Internet Explorer has been relatively stable for 
many years version 8 has proven to be an exception, at least on some 
computers.  It crashes often and wants to send the error report.  While 
it could be an issue with JAWS I would bean toward blaming IE rather 
than the screen reader.  It is true that older versions of JAWS behave 
poorly with new versions of IE, particularly when trying to read items 
contained with combo boxes.  Therefore, if you're going to use IE8 I 
would make sure you're using a current or at least recent version of 
JAWS.  I also agree that Firefox is far more reliable; I could count on 
one hand the amount of times it has crashed.  Of course, I am not sure 
which versions of JAWS won't support the latest version.  NVDA, the 
free, open-source screen reader will work with both IE and Firefox.
