Hi Dave,

Sorry to say, I don't have a suggestion to help you with this, but I wonder 
if you could possibly teach me something. You mention navigating on a Web 
page using control alt and arrow keys? just left and right? What's that 
about? I never heard of this. What does it do, and when is it handy?

thanks.

Subject: JAWS 9.0 and Reading Tables


Another problem that I'm having with JAWS 9...

One of my web sites has a table with checkmarks  in the first column. These
can be checked/unchecked to allow me to select which books I need to renew
(it's my library site).

When I tab into the table, and when I tab into the cell containing the check
box I hear "checkbox not checked" just as I would expect.

When I use Alt-Ctrl arrow navigation I hear "blank". I have to then press
Alt-Ctrl-LeftArrow again to hear the checkbox.

JAWS 8 does not have this problem.

Any ideas as to settings, etc? FS tech support could not offer any advice
except the usual to "remove JAWS and re-install".

Dave
