Indenting websites on Braille displaysI'd be interested to know this as well
please as I'll be getting an mPower soon, to which one of the goals is to use
it as a Braille display for my PC running JAWS. Thanks Damon for observing
this, and thanks all in advance for the help.

Subject: [access-uk] Indenting websites on Braille displays
HI there.
I note that Mozilla Firefox with JAWS 8 displays the BBC News web page very
logically if you have a braille display. It's something of a useful revelation
actually, the way it indents some content to help you understand the page more
easily.
Though I noted this on the BBC news site, I haven't seen Firefox do it
anywhere else yet.
Question for today: can you alter internet explorer or JAWS so that braille
indenting occurs? So that, for instance, nested lists and headings actually
make sense and look nested rather than just saying they are? Spoken nests are,
in my opinion, too complex to get your head round oftentimes. Indents not words
please.
Any light anyone can shed on indenting with braille displays on the web much
appreciated.
Cheers
