Hi John,
Have you reported this issue to Freedom Scientific?
I had the same sort of problems with my local newspaper site during the beta
stage. After reporting to FS, the problems were solved up to and including
beta 5. However, further changes were made before the final version was
released and the problems are back again.
Reading a reply from Brian Hartgen on another thread reminded me about the
check box for "Legacy Internet Explorer Support". After enabling the
setting, there seemed to be no change. So, I restarted the computer and now
I can access both my local newspaper and BBC News sites without any
problems. No doubt unloading, then restarting JAWS after enabling the
setting would also have worked.
I trust Brian won't mind, but I've copied his explanation, as follows.
<snip>
1. Start internet explorer.
2. Bring up the configuration manager with insert and number 6 on the main
qwerty keyboard.
3. Press alt S for set options, H for HTML options.
4. Shift tab back once to the property sheets and arrow right until you
reach miscellaneous.
5. Tab to the check box entitled "use legacy internet explorer support" and
press space to check it.
6. Press enter to close the dialog.
7. Press control+s to save the file.
8. Press alt+F4 to quit the configuration manager.
NOTES
This procedure should revert back to legacy support for Internet Explorer.
There is no doubt that pages do behave very differently with the new IE
support, and you should only use legacy if everything else fails. My reason
for saying that is clearly the new internet explorer support, delivered via
the Document Object Model, is clearly the way Freedom Scientific intends to
deliver web pages to us in the future. To that end, the more of us who use
the new support and report to FS when things go wrong, the better. This new
DOM support is hopefully a stepping stone to greater things in the years to
come and we must support it whenever we can.
<snip end>
Regards.
Ian

I've just installed JFW 7.1. I have the BBC News front page as my home page,
and the links behave very strangely. When I move to a link, it changes to a
different link. I've found even if I leave the virtual cursor where it is
and just press "say line" the link cycles through a choice of 3 links or so
making it impossible to determine what it really is. When I cursor down the
page previous links are often repeated. It doesn't happeen with other web
pages so far. Has anyone else found this?
