Paul,
The buttons are probably the equivalent of the left and right mouse buttons
but the glide pad is normally in the same area. It might be quite flush to
the rest of the surface but it is normally slightly sunken so that it is
easily identified.
If there isn't a glide pad, the other alternative to a mouse is a little joy
stick - quite often in the centre of the keyboard and easy to miss. If you
have one of these, the same problem can occur if you hit it accidentally.
Sorry I can't be any more helpful.
Jamie

Thanks Jamie,
Well at the bottom centre of the netbook casing are two plastic buttons
which I think are used in the way you would use a mouse on a desktop
computer.
I wasn't touching these when I was typing away but do occasionally touch
these buttons but have always done so and htis weekend was the first time I
had encountered a problem.
Of course I may not in fact have a glide pad on my netbook.
Paul.

: Hi Paul,
:
:
: It is possible that your netbook doesn't have one but most laptops and
: netbooks have a small window (for want of a better description) at the
: bottom centre of the keyboard, just below where your thumbs are when you
are
: typing.
:
:
:
: A sighted user can use the glide pad as an alternative to using a mouse.
It
: is a touch sensitive area which can be used to move the mouse pointer
around
: on the screen, hence the possible suggestion that I gave you.
:
:
:
: It is possible to turn this off entirely but another option which I have
: seen quite a lot is to stick a piece of cardboard over it to prevent this
: kind of accidental problem occuring.
:
:
:
: Hope this helps.

: Hi Jamie and thanks for your response.
:
: Excuse my ignorance but what is the glide Pad, as I've never heard of it
: before and also where is it on my netbook, asuming I do have one.

: Thanks

:: Hi all,
::
:: Using JAWS 12 on a dell netbook with either IE7 or 8.
::
:: I was away over the weekend and used my Netbook to go onto facebook.
::
:: I have a dongle which I used and whilst I was abel to access Facebook
:: without any difficulties, I did encounter one problem.
::
:: Whenever I wanted to comment on a status, or update my own status, I
found
:: that aftger typing only a few words, I would lose focus and end up
usually
:: on the desktop. At one point, when I atempted to write a comment, the
: page
:: I was on ended up being minimised and all I could hear JAWS saying was
the
:: address of the facebook page I was on.
::
:: Sometimes, alt tabbing back to the page sorted the problem out but other
:: times, it didn't.
::
:: I've never had this problem before whilst on the internet with my netbook
:: and so if anyone can possibly shed any light on this and tell me how to
:: correct this rather anoying glitch, then please do let me know.
::
:: Regards
::
