I have the same problem in IE 8 using JAWS 9. You can either press Alt-D or F6 to get the web address of the current page, then Enter to reload it.

Subject: JAWS will not announce information from the address bar in Internet Explorer 8


Hi all,

After I have upgraded from Internet Explorer 7 to Internet Explorer 8, JAWS 10 will not announce the information from the address bar (normaly, I could press the shortcut Insert+A, after which JAWS say the address to the actuel web page). Now, JAWS only say the word address bar!

Have other person on this mailing list heard about this problem before, if yes, it is posible to fix this problem, so JAWS say the address to the actuel web page?

I using Windows XP Service Pack 3, Internet Explorer 8 and the latest version of JAWS 10.

Thanks for the answers.

Regards,
Anders
