Hi,A friend and I were on the phone, each on our own computers, trying to fill out a form on the McGill University Alumni web site. The form wanted user name and password, and then had a submit button. When I activated the submit button by tab plus spacebar or by enter enter, I was taken to the next page. But my friend kept going in circles. She activated the submit button and JAWS indicated it was loading a new page, but actually it just reloaded the form page. We tried numerous times, and she couldn't get hers to work. Using the B key, we did verify that JAWS did recognize "submit" as a button.Any ideas about what might be going wrong? She has JAWS version 8 and I have 10.Thanks, Emily -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.comJFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxTo unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfwAlternative archives located at: http://n2.nabble.com/JAWS-for-Windows-f2145279.htmlIf you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
