The JAWS cursor will tell us where the bottome left cornor of a combo box is in 
pixels on the screen.  Is there a way to tell where the top right cornor of the 
box is in pixels on the screen?

You can get information about the position of a certain piece of text with 
Jaws, using the jaws cursor (the mouse cursor), then pressing alt+Delete. 
This will tell you the x/y coordinates.

Subject: Programming Webpages Using JAWS


At work I am learning to use APEX to program web pages.  When programming 
web pages using JAWS, how do you know where you are putting the information 
on the page so that it looks good to the sighted user.  For example how do 
you know where you are placing your comboboxes and radio buttons, etc.  Also 
how do you know where you are placing your text?  When I read web pages with 
JAWS I often do not understand how the page is laied out unless a sighted 
user explains it even if I understand the information.
