Select this check box if you want to use the method that JAWS 7.0 and
earlier used to render and understand Web pages. Selecting this check box
may be useful
if you are having problems reading or navigating a particular Web site.
However, some JAWS Web features may be unavailable or non-functional while
legacy
support is enabled.

Subject: Legacy Support for Internet Explorer: what does it do?


I understand from recent posts that a feature with this name must've been 
introduced in Jaws 7.1 (it doesn't appear among the Configuration manager's 
HTML/Misc. options on my Jaws 7) and has disappeared in Version 8.  What did

it do?  More aspecifically, what sort of problem did it solve?  Personally, 
I don't have any Web navigation issues to complain of at the moment, so 
maybe that's part of why I'm perplexed.  Can anyone explain what the story 
is with this legacy support deal?

Thanks.
