Re: a Jaws setting that might hide edit fields?

In Internet Explorer, press alt-t for tools, then o for options. Press shift-control-tab once to locate the accessibility options. There are dozens of them. The quickest way I've found for getting to pictures on/off is to press the end key to go straight to the bottom, then arrow up quickly twenty times, then keep arrowing up more slowly until you hear "pictures."
Note that once you have made your choice with the spacebar, you must tab over to the apply button, press spacebar, and again to OK. 

The problem Ann describes is new to me.

Hi Ann,
Could you please tell me where I have to go to find out if my pictures button is checked? All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.

If you have pictures turned off in Internet Explorer, JAWS can't see edit fields associated with them. Under accessibility--in Windows, not JFW.

Hello All,
I have been on several web sites lately using Jaws 9 where an edit field that was supposed to be there wasn't at least as far as Jaws was concerned and I was wondering if anybody could give me some ideas of settings to change to make these edit fields show? I generally keep inline frames hidden except on certain web pages where I have found that I need them showing, and in most cases I have Jaws set where it only shows me tagged graphics, but I have even unloaded Jaws and loaded it with the default settings and got the same results in all cases, Jaws doesn't detect the edit fields that are supposed to be there. 

Thanks.
