Hi
Firstly, it would be a good idea if you can to show us which site you are
lookin gat.
Otherwise, make sure the virtual pc cursor is enabled and make sure document
Presentation mode is on"simple layout". This usually means that most things
are laid out vertically. However, be advised that some sites look and read
better if Document presentation is set to screen layout.
I hope I haven't confused the issue.
Erica.

Hi folks,
I'm having an access problem with a website and would like some advice ...
System: Windows XP Home, fully updated; JFW 8, latest version; Internet
Explorer 7
Website: http://www.virgindigital.co.uk
This is a music download site, but you don't have to register to search their
database or listen to the sound samples, and all aspects of the site are
fine, including registration and purchasing, but my difficulty is with
browsing within pages.
I select an artist in the normal way, and it comes up with the artist's
albums and total number of tracks. If this number of tracks exceeds 30, JAWS
will not allow me to continue to the next page by using the PC cursor, I have
to go into jaws cursor and search about for the links, they appear in a row
from left to right labelled Start, 1, 2 etc and finishing with Next. I can
press the left mouse key on Next and it will take me to the next page, but
why doesn't JFW recognise these as normal links, they don't appear in the
links list either, but I am told that they look like normal links, and a demo
copy of Window-Eyes which I use as a backup treats them normally, laying them
out in a vertical column just like the links in a search engine.
So what should I do? Should I contact Virgin Digital and tell them their
browsing function is difficult to access, or should I ask Freedom Scientific
why links that appear normal to a sighted user are not recognised by their
program?
Is there anything I can do to JFW to make it see these links as normal? I get
the same result regardless of whether or not Flash is enabled.
Regards,
Pete H.
