I've tried this method lots of times with no success and I'm sure on Ricks podcast before it kept staying as the default then all of a sudden accepted it, but can't remember what Rick suddenly did different to make it work.

Hi there,
Wehn you are at the gadget, press Application key then go to Options. A the thing that appears (you need to press TAB multiple times) with an edit field, just type your city or zip code. You need to pres ENtER to activate forms ode. When you are done, press Numpad Plus (CAPS Lock+semicolon on laptop) then press TAB to go to OK button.
Cheers,
Joseph

I've always had this same probelm and still haven't worked it out although I know Rick managed to do it on one of his podcasts once, all be it sounding a bit fiddly.

Subject: jaws and the weather gadget on vista's sidebar

I am trying to use the weather gadget with the windows sidebar.

By default, the weather comes up for Washington.

If I click the "weather button" then shift f10, I get into the options. I can type in the city I want, and hit "search." When I do this, I see the city name has changed to "Minneapolis, MN" I have tried "New Brighton," and when I did that, a listbox appeared, from which I was able to select "New Brighton, MN." Again, I saw the option select properly because the name of the city for which the weather is being retrieved appears at the top of the
options page.

I can select celcius, or farenheight. I tab to OKAY, and click it, but my
settings don't seem to save.
I am using jaws 9.0.519.  I know people have used this with previous
versions of jaws, but has anyone successfully changed the city for which the
weather is presented using  jaws nine? If so, any ideas where I could be
going wrong?
Thanks
Michael Malver
