I agree. One thing I've noticed about Google Docs is that so-called "application mode" turns on automatically. I don't remember reading anything about "application mode" in the JAWS manual, and by the way, Google Docs just doesn't work with JAWS 11. There is a help section that talks about using Google Docs with a screen reader, but it is all bogus as far as I can tell. I'm wondering if this application mode is part of the problem for Google Docs too? -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bissett, Tom Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2011 8:18 AM To: 'jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: APPLICATION MODE Hi, I am not sure what the application mode is but I found that by using jawskey+z I was able to go into virtual mode and the page was readable. Does any one know what this application mode actually is and why it automatically turns on when the web page loads? Knowing this may make it easier to figure out what to do next. Tom Bisset -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joe Smith Sent: March 2, 2011 10:10 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: APPLICATION MODE I was attempting to find a product on the Lowes Building Supply website www.lowes.com. After the site loaded, it stated that Application Mode was on. I am using Windows XP, Explorer 8, and Jaws 12. I then discovered that I could not use any of the Jaws navigation keys to view or link within the site. Does anyone have an answer to this problem?
