Thanks for that reminder.  I'll have to look into how the JAWS cursor gives 
positions.  I've only ever used it to read information not visible with the PC 
cursor.

Hello Florian:

I suggest you use the Jaws cursor to get an idea of how the page looks, also to 
find the position of certain elements, as well as colors.  For complex pages, 
it is easier to use an existing template, being careful to respect sizes of 
graphics and text.

Hello,

I am, and have always been, fully blind. I have the ambition of being able to 
write at least passable websites when it comes to the design/visual aspect. I 
understand that you are usually advised to have a sighted person check your 
layout before you go live with it, but how do you know where to begin? I have 
always seen websites from the JAWS perspective, I have no idea on what side the 
menu should be, or the content, what shape, font? That kind of thing. Where do 
I go to find out such things?

Florian
