[jaws-uk] Re: Repetitive Navigation Links

MessageSpeaking of skip navigation links, has anybody else found that they 
sometimes prevent JAWS reading the page content?  I've had this problem with 
Arts Council newsletters - if I use 'skip navigation' then it won't show me the 
content of the page at all; just scrolls past it like it's not there.

Any ideas?

  Or if you're looking from the website development point, you can always make 
sure that there is some sort of "skip navigation" link at the top of the 
website, a same page link that enables screenreaders to get to the main part of 
the page.

    Bring up the Jaws window, hit Utilities, Go into the config manager, look 
at html options and you'll see a checkbox saying, skip past repeated characters 
on new pages which is checked by default.

    I imagine if you uncheck it you'll be able to run some sort of test?

      I am testing a web interface using the section 508 guidelines. One of the 
guidelines requires me to test the following:

      A method shall be provided that permits users to skip repetitive 
navigation links.

      How can I test for this using JAWS version 9.0?
