On Louis Braille's birthday Google did put their logo in Braille. It was, like all of the clever Google logo's, a graphic that contained ALT text so that everyone knew what was there. There are plenty of tricks one can use with JAWS to get past the Google Logo if it is in an annoying state and get to the edit field for entering the search term. My first suggestion would be to go to the forms list and jump directly to the search edit field. What do others suggest?

A thought occurs to me. What if Google decided to honor the birthday of Louis Braille? Then the entire web page could be all a series of 6-cell dots. Or how about honoring Freedom Scientific, and have a completely blank page with only eloquence speaking to a user when they wander to a particular spot? Sorry. Too much time on my hands. Point is, they can go too far, and often times have done so. Just imagine if they honored the discovery of dyslexia. Then no one could read anything. KOya, negouh nfu rof wno.

Hi Rose, That is probably why JAWS is a bit unresponsive and sluggish. It should be fine again tomorrow. Cheers, Claire.

Google is showing its logo in bones today, because it is national Radiology work. I have not tried it with Jaws but co-workers say it looks really cool to see it. It may be slowing things down, however.

When I go to google, all it does is stall stall stall. I can navigate most other sites fine today, but google, and I think yahoo, are completely not working. They're up, but it'll take jaws over a minute to move from one line to another. Is anyone else having trouble with this?-- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
