If you locate the first of those number entry boxes and press tab does it reliably go round those and tell you what they are from there. This I think is what the David was having problems with. He seemed to be suggesting that either the positioning was random and/or not being announced correctly. The page I use to get into my bank does this all on the same page to let you go in, however my credit card does the same sort ot thing in three pages which seems less fun. I don't know whether this is security based or simply they thought that the best form of design. Personally the way Nationwide do it is very civilised I even found a hidden link for screen reader users describing the last significant change to the sign in page. Regards.

The person with the problem may be getting confused because after hitting next jaws is not always focused on the first field so, like I said, make sure you first locate the "your pin" headding then move the virtual cursor to the first field and only then enter forms mode and enter your detials.

Regards David -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Brian Hartgen Sent: 26 June 2006 18:40 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: Something very anoying in the new update David, Try this and let me know if it works. 1. Start internet explorer. 2. Bring up the conffiguration 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. In addition to the differences in the rendering of pages, people will notice two distinct differences with new DOM support. 1. When you tab from one link or control to another, a yellow rectangle is also present. One of the difficulties with jaws has historically been the lack of visual feedback concerning precisely what jaws is saying. This rectangle is an aid to sighted individuals. The difficulty for us is that in my view it makes the tab key less responsive. When you arrow through a document, visual focus is not tracked. 2. Jaws is now better able to handle the difference between data and layout tables. For example, if you visit a site such as www.tandt-consultancy.com Where we have used a layout table to display information, jaws 7.0 and before will announce the fact that you are entering and leaving a table. As blind people, we possibly don't care about that, but we do care about data tables - those tables such as train time tables which need to be processed in a tabular way. Jaws 7.10, using new DOM support, will not indicate the presence of these layout tables which from a new user standpoint is very good indeed. I hope I have explained this new concept of Internet support clearly and David, I hope my solution works for you. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Sent: 26 June 2006 18:06 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: Something very anoying in the new update Hi Tristram, I have tested the Natwest webpage again with Jaws 7.0 and had no difficulty at all. I then had three attempts with Jaws 7.10 and failed. Strangely, the second attempt allowed me to enter three digits in their separate fields, or I thought so, then realised i had been asked to enter the same number twice and that can't be right. I then entered a character, only one, and was shot to the top of the page again. I have been in touch directly with S and S about this, can't remember the gentleman's name. He suggested I try using the Insert F5 function which I did, not successfully. In any case, it really should work as it does in 7.0. I'll keep trying and report back.

I have used this site regularly for about a year and had no problems until Jaws 7.10. I also noticed today that having entered my personal number on the first page and pressed "next" it then asked me for my personal number again but, in fact, it should have been part of my pin number. Anyway, I did a read line and it asked me to enter the first character of my pin number which I did. It should then have taken me to the next field to enter another pin number but instead it asked me for the second character of my password. I knew this was not right but entered it as requested and it immediately shot me to the top of the page. I don't like to mess around with this sort of site for long in case you end up having to re-register. I hope you understand all that.

Not quite the same as you I think. What I am finding on a particular banking website is entering password digits in their individual fields. Normally you automatically start in field 1, then field 2 etc. but with 7.10 it seems to land on any random field and it doesn't reliably tell you wich. When I use this website now I go back to 7.0. I have also noticed that some of the settings don't seem to have taken effect with the Merge Utilities function. I might try running it again. I had trouble with Google some time ago when it kept on interrupting everytime I went to a new field in a form. I found the problem in Add/Remove Software. Forgotten what it was called but had "google" in it. Taking it out sorted it. Things are not looking good I think with Jaws 7.1 at the moment but it is still a Beta version so can't moan I suppose. Regards David -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Andrew Hodgson Sent: 25 June 2006 23:01 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Something very anoying in the new update Hi, I am finding this new update a bit difficult to get used to. The main reason is that on a web form, if you are arrowing through the form, Jaws before 7.10 read out the relevant field, then the edit box etc for you to put the data into. However, what I am now finding is that Jaws is reading some sort of attribute on the form entry fields, in addition to the data which is visible in the browser window, in effect reading the data out twice for each arrow up/down. It is not therefore easy to distinguish when you come to the edit field in a form, you have to use different navigation commands to get you to the next edit field etc. One clear example on this is at http://www.google.com, where I usually quickly arrow down until I hear the words "edit", however, now I hear the words "google search" read out twice, once for the text shown above the form field, and once again on the form field itself. Is there any way to turn this feature off, so that I can hear the description of the field by pressing a key or something? Also, I realise that Brian has done a script for this, but I find Outlook a bit annoying when you continually hear the same message read out if you come to the bottom of the list. If you are viewing a folder with the new messages coming at the bottom, you don't know when you reach the bottom of the list easily, because you continually hear the last message in the list, which makes it seem like that person wrote loads of messages.
