Hi all,
I have found that
www.braille.wunderground.com/
Is extremely JAWS friendly.
Go to this link and tab once. Check and it should tell you that you are in
an edit field. Hit enter to set forms mode then type the name of the city
and state (standard 2 char abbreviation) then tab once more and press enter.
The forcast will come up read through the forcast and the bottom entries
will be the current conditions.
HTH, Cy, the Ancient Okie...
