Flexible web is a feature that's not currently available to try out in jaws 14 
public beta 1, but they reckon in latest podcast that there will be at least an 
initial version in public beta 2, which should be coming out sometime.

Either way, it seems to let you customise the jaws virtual buffer rendition of 
webpage/website content, in a way that you can then save as a rule to be 
applied to the same site/page later on, automatically, and, for example, in the 
podcast, they show you specifically examples of hiding certain pieces of 
irrelevant content, like advertising frames, and also get it to specifically 
start reading page content from a specific point on a site's pages, but, would 
think that there will be a few more viable/useful options/ways to implement 
modifications to virtual buffer renditions of pages.

Either way, here's another online blog relating to flexible web if you want to 
check this out:

Also reminds me that, something have mentioned to people in past, but still 
need/want to get around to trying to do something with is a sort of browser 
add-on called greaseMonkey, which lets you customise other people's 
webpages/sites, in a way that can easily enough be shared with other 
users/people as well - one day...<smile>

Stay well
