[jaws-uk] Re: Repetitive Navigation Links

I have had this happen. I have JAWS 9, so I don't know if it happens in
JAWS 10.

Speaking 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?
                        
                        Regards,
