I don't have this problem, maybe you should specify which web site this is
happening with.

I'm using v. 7.0, and it happens on some Web sites but not on most, at least
not most of the ones I frequent and that require such input. My guess is
that, although possibly Jaws could be tweaked to overcome this when it
happens (that's conjectured out of ignorance about anything to do with
coding, I admit), I think it's a problem with the Web site's own page
design, so that page elements aren't labeled in the sequence that they need
to be for a screen reader, or at least for jaws.
Probably you, like me, have experimented with ways to get around this, such
as by turning off Forms mode, tabbing to the next field and hearing it
spoken, then turning on forms mode again. But it's a real pain, and
sometimes that tactic doesn't work, and especially in a form where there are
a lot of fields to fill in, you can just go crazy or get completely lost.
I'd love to hear others chime in about this, too. I don't think it's a
version 7.1 issue, exclusively.

Yes I have the same issue, but not on all web sites.

Hi, Does any one else have a problem like this? When I'm filling out some
thing jfw7.1 says that I'm in the form line above the one I'm really in. So
what I mean is say if I'm putting my user name and then tap down to put my
pass word it says that I'm still in the user name line but really I'm in the
pass word line... Now if any one understands this and has any ideas please
let me know...
THANKS ROB
