Thanks for your reply. Insert plus B does cause the dialog box to be
read out, but we were expecting it to be read automatically when the
dialog box appears. Is it safe to assume that an average JAWS user would
know that this needs to be done to read out any dialog boxes that pop
up?

Try using insert and the B key to read the dialog.  If this does not
work use the Jaws cursor, followed by root jaws to PC.  Then use the
arrow keys to move up and down the dialog.

 

Use the - key at the top right of the num pad to turn on Jaws cursor.
The use insert - to root jaws to pc.  To go back to the pc cursor use
the + key on the num pad.

 

Hope this helps,

Nigel

        Hello

         

        The company I work for has a web application that needs to work
with JAWS 6. I've fixed most of the problems, but one of the things I
can't get JAWS to do is read out the contents of Internet Explorer's
modal dialog boxes (i.e. those opened using window.showModalDialog).
JAWS will read the title of the pop up dialog and mention that it's a
dialog window but will then stop and not read the contents of the modal
window. Is there any known way to persuade JAWS to read the contents of
the dialog box?
