[nabs-l] Internet Explorer 8 with Windows 7?

[Amy Sabo]

Hello Arielle,

As for your question in using ie 8 with jfw 11 on windows 7 yes,
it can work. I have ie 8 on my laptop which has windows7 on it.
As for using ie 9 on your computer with windows 7 I don't know on
that!

And, btw these aren't stupid questions at all... I hope that I
have answered all of your questions. Take care and, I will talk
to you soon.



Hugs,
amy

Hi all,
I am running Windows 7 with JAWS 11 and I have found that while
Internet Explorer 9 is mostly accessible, there are certain
websites
where it says there are a bunch of blank lines between fields,
which
makes arrowing through the page a huge pain. It also has some
trouble
reliably moving from one form field to the next. I wanted to
download
IE 8 as others have mentioned. However, the Microsoft website
says
that IE 8 is only compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Is it
possible to run IE 8 with Windows 7? Or, is Firefox a better
browser
to use with JAWS? I have used IE for years and it would take me a
while to learn Firefox but I'm willing to do it if the
accessibility
is more consistent.
Thanks and apologies if these are "dumb" questions.
Best,
Arielle
