Good evening Peter,

In short, you probably do not need to install the Java Access Bridge.

The Java Access Bridge (JAB) is a bridge to allow assistive technology for Windows to access the built in accessibility features of the Java programming language. If you do not need to use any Java based programs then you don't need the access bridge.

Important notes:

1. Some Java programs do not require the JAB because of the toolkits used for their user interfaces.

2. Java is not Javascript, from an end user perspective they are similar in name alone. The JAB has nothing to do with Javascript.

HTH,
Everett

Apologies as I missed most of this thread. I don't have access bridge installed. Does it make a difference? Should I install it? I'm using Vista and JAWS 10.

Hi again,

now I have more info regarding the site.
After logging in, there is a window that opens, with a kind of Java applet. It contains callendar and other buttons, and at the end there is Java V applet. She downgraded from Runtime Environment 10 to I think 7, no access bridge installed, and now all other websites seem to work OK again.
The only thing that doesn't work is this Java applet.
Some parts do read well, but the callendar and tasks are presented in a strange way, some of the items not appearing at all.

Any Ideas?
Regards and thanks a lot,
Nermin
