hi flor

many thanks, seems to be working with the jaws find keys. but there is no link 
on
that web site saying skip to link button.

my friends that are working it ok said it must be just me, in saying that they 
are
not using the jaws find.

I have been on the freedom scientific web page looking at their navigation 
lessons, I
have learnt allot from there.

Hi Susan,

Happy new year to you:  And yes, the weather is bad!!  Now, your problem
which isn't one.  Have you ever used the JAWS Find Dialogue?  When on
the page, and you go to, say, the bravo link, having visited the BBC1
link, use insert-ctrl-f to open the JAWS Find Dialogue, and type in the
word bravo, tab to ok and hit enter.  You should next find the word
Bravo highlighted; or, just arrow around up and down a few lines till
you get it.

There is another setting in the html options of the JAWS configuration
manager that might help, or at least it's supposed to:  "Skip past
repeated links on new pages", and you would check that box.  But try the
JAWS Find thingy first.  And the other people who've no troublke with
the page:  What have they been instructing you on its use?

Another link you may want to be aware of is the "Jump to main content"
link.  Hit enter on that, and you should be taken straight to the text
of the program, listing of the station link you're on.  Also, be aware
that, when you move from one link to another, you will eventually make
it even if you do nothing, as JAWS just reads down the page slowly but
surely.

I tried this using JAWS4.51.  (I uninstalled JAWS4.50, because it
wouldn't allow me work with Microsoft Word!)  JAWS4.51 is a patch to
4.50 - not an upgrade and not something you'd have to register - to
download.

Hi

happy new year to you all.

I am using windows 98 and jaws 4.5

I was wondering could some one with the same system as me look at this
web site for
me? I can get so far then I get no further.

This is a web site for audio described programs and film TV listings on
sky

there is a link to click on called sky audio description schedule

the problem is I can go in to one channel for instance bbc 1, but then
if I want to
go to another channel say for instance bravo, I am unable to go in to
it, what
happens is it just keeps going back to bbc 1.

Three other friends living quite close to me have no problem with
navigating the
site, however they are using xp home, one is using jaws 5.0 and the
other two are
using windoweyes.
Best Regards Susan.
