Hi all,
Revision 233 fixes the problem with navigating editable documents in Outlook
Express and other internet Explorer_Server windows where the entire
paragraph was being read rather than the current physical line.
There is no way (as far as I can see) to ask Internet Explorer for the start
and end positions of a screen line, so the moveByLine script for these
documents moves to the line, moves to the end, records the caret position,
moves to the start, records the caret position, and then speaks the line
according to the found positions. Its still a bit flaky, sometimes the line
is blank the first time you arrow to it, but its much better than it was.
This change now makes Outlook Express now usable for both reading and
writing email messages.
However there are some controls in Outlook Express that are not labeled
properly, and we may have to think of implementing some kind of prompt
labeler (god forbid).
