[jaws-uk] Re: Reading prompts for edit boxes in web page

Hi Martin.
This is defeatist I realize but I have a similar problem when filling in YouGov surveys where some of the checkboxes don't show up. In desperation I set a shortcut key for whichever Jaws works with the combo boxes and bring in that Jaws to perform the task. All we want to do is achieve whatever task as quickly as possible don't we?

Subject: [jaws-uk] Reading prompts for edit boxes in web page



Hi folks
I've put this off for some time but would like to get it working again if possible. I use Halifax online banking and when logging on there are three edit boxes to fill in, username, password and security answer. The username and password boxes are no problem as jaws prompts for user name or password when navigating to the boxes. However the security answer prompt could be one of a number of questions, ie. place of birth, fathers first name etc. Jaws simply prompts for 'enter security answer' when navigating into the edit boxand no longer prompts me for the question (jaws 5 and below used to and still does read out the question). When in the edit box if I exit from forms mode and cursor up the line above the edit box displays what jaws is prompting that is 'enter the security answer'. The line above this is the question to the security answer ie. 'your fathers first name'. Does anyone know how |I can get jaws 8 to read out this prompt when I tab to the edit box? As I mentioned jaws 5 works just fine so surely there is some way I can tweak the settings in v8. 

Thanks

Martin
