[JAWSLite] Re: web forms with Jaws 8

Sure thing. I have had that happen at a variety of sites. I believe Jaws thinks 
the key is a quick key, and if you keep typing the key until something is 
written, it will be all right.

Now that I have had Jaws 9 for a few days, I think that weirdness might have 
been fixed.

Subject: [JAWSLite] web forms with Jaws 8


I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem, or if it's a problem more with 
the site I'm using. 

I sometimes use a secure mailbox for sending secure e-mails and attachments. 
The fields for filling out the to, cc, subject, and edit portions of the 
web-based messages are of course form fields. When I turn on Form Fields and 
start typing, the first press of a letter sometimes results in a Jaws message 
as if I hadn't turned forms mode on. E.g. Capital J might tell me about there 
being no placemarkers. When I press it again, I get my text. Or sometimes 
pressing enter in an edit field will turn forms mode off instead of going to a 
new line. Sometimes everything works as it should. 

Does anyone else have problems with web forms?
