hi, thanks for this interesting explanation. I'm not clear why I'd want to put the mouse pointer or the Jaws cursor, such as the case may be, on something. I generally just use the default virtual cursor and it covers most situations for me on most Web pages I encounter. So if this control Insert F is more of a power user command to find things I'm not usually looking for (usually just HTML text, not buttons or other controls, which I generally seek using the single letter commands available in Jaws while in the browser. But I will experiment to see how this might work. Thanks very much. nsert early ----- Original Message ----- From: "jim grimsby" <jimgrims@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, March 19, 2005 8:04 PM Subject: RE: find command with IE Hi, for what it is worth control f in internet explorer is the virtual find. What this does is searches the virtual buffer and moves the virtual cursor to the text if it is found. The jaws find command is insert control f and searches the screen to find text. If it is found the mouse pointer is placed on the found text. So for thoughs who have said it does the same thing is not correct.
