It's simpler than that. Just download the file, and press enter on it. It
will invite you to press the enter key three times to complete the
installation process, and that's it.
 
Please read all the notes on the Blog first before use.

Hi Brian,

Apologies for not being confident with scripts, but I am wondering whether
it is simply a case of downloading these, unzipping them to the folder that
the unzip program determines then away you go when you next start Internet
Explorer? 

Or do they need to be compiled or something?

Karl
-not a script expert - could you guess?

Subject: [jaws-uk] Web markers on web pages

Hi

I have written a set of scripts which allow you to move to specific text
strings on a web page.  This idea came out of the Access UK list
incidentally.  Place Markers are great, but they store only the line number
in the virtual buffer which is fine, but with the web being a fluid
environment, you may want another method of navigation.

The idea is that you have five web marker set keys and five web marker
locator keys.  You press one of the set keys and a dialog box appears.  You
type into the edit field what you want jaws to search for in the future,
then press enter.

The next dialog asks you what you would like jaws to say while it is
searching for the text string on the page in the future. You type it in and
press enter.

Now to locate the item, you press the corresponding web marker locator key.
This causes jaws to say what you asked it to, and locates the search string
on the web page assuming it is available.

All jaws speech prompts and search strings can be transferred from one
machine to another, and are of course remembered across windows sessions.
This utility did not take much writing time, so it is free.

To get the scripts and read more about them, head on over to the jaws blog
