[JAWSLite] Re: jaws, java and Amazon

Hi, Steve and list. A while ago someone on a JAWS list speculated that Java was at the root of the Amazon problem. This weekend I installed Java Access Bridge for the first time, and the sluggishness on that website promptly disappeared. I infer cause and effect, without having the knowledge to provide an explanation. Incidentally, Java Access Bridge installs into a new folder, separate from the Java folder, under Program Files.

I just went to Amazon looking for something. I noticed that jaws didn't read anything when I pushed the up and down arrow. Or at least the response was very slow. Have they made any changes requiring this java access bridge?

Hi, Jean. I didn't download the manuals, and so far have felt no need of additional information.

Thanks Adrian,
I hadn't ben following that thread and didn't know about Access Bridge until now. I'll install it and see if it helps Jaws. I notice on the download page there are manuals, etc. I assume that's not necessary as an end user? 

Thanks for providing the direct link. Jean

I want to thank Don Mauck for this suggestion. Earlier, I'd read on this list that Java might be at the root of my sudden difficulty reading Amazon WebPages, and so I downloaded Java Access Bridge, as he suggested. As a result, I'm no longer experiencing sluggishness on Amazon pages.
Please correct me if there's a later version, Don (you mention 2.1), but I found a Sun Java page with a description of Access Bridge and links for downloading version 2.0.1: 

http://java.sun.com/products/accessbridge/
Note. I didn't bother with the special Sun download manager, as recommended on that page. I just clicked on the Access Bridge link itself, saved to my desktop, and then let the application's wizard take over. It's a very smooth process.
