Vicki, IE7 RSS functionality allows for basic feed detection on web pages and subscription to the feeds and then a basic RSS reader or one page view as we call it. JAWS enhances this a bit by announcing when a page has an RSS feed. IE7 indicates that a feed is detected by lighting up a feeds button. You can turn on an audio indication of feeds by going to internet options, content and feed settings. To use RSS functionality in IE7 here one example you can try. 1. Navigate to a web page that has a feed. 2. Press alt+j to access the menu of feeds directly. 3. Press enter on a feed that interests you. At this point you are on the one page view for the feed. 4. If you want to subscribe to the feed press ctrl+d or activate the subscribe button on the page. 5. To review feeds that are subscribed, press ctrl+j to see a list of feeds. Those that have new content will have the word "new" added to their names.

I have had no crashes with it, where I did get crashes at times with jaws 6. Not saying I may not get a crash, but it has not happened yet, and I've had IE 7 for nearly a week. I am curious though, I didn't see anything about it in the what's new material on the jaws site. What is in IE 7 with RSS, and does jaws work well with it? I would like to know, as I use another program for RSS right now, and it'd be really cool to do it all in explorer. Perhaps I missed something on the jaws what's new stuff.

Adding to the things I'm thankful for on this cold, rainy Thanksgiving day, I have not had any difficulties or slowness with IE7 and Jaws 8. I admit that I undertook both of these installations with much trepidation after reading the messages on this list from some people who are having crashes with this combo, and it would be interesting if we could find some sort of common denominator that links all these unfortunate folks together, but the story had a happy ending for me. I'm wondering if it has anything at all to do with the order in which you install things? I installed the windows updates first, then Jaws 8. The tabbed browsing thing doesn't excite me all that much, but they say the new IE has facilities for handling RSS feeds and more robust security features than the previous version. Good luck. _____________________________________________________________ Email provided by ifbyphone.com -- 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.
