I cannot think of a time where I have needed to arrow past blank lines
on a Web page. I probably just have not encountered such pages.
Could someone send a link to one of these nasty sites just as an
example?

HI,
For some web pages, there is no better approach --for some
specific
pages-- that works better than encountering via down arrowing the
extra
blank lines
Despite the easy temtation to suggest some have not tried hard enough
or
that some are somehow ignorant: some of us have spent time over
months
experimenting without success.
trying to find better ways.
All this is because " some" are encountering difficulties and have
even had to curtail computer usage.
If some one can help come up with even a partial solution in
this
matter,
there will be more than a small few happy to find an answer. Repeat use
problems are not to be taken lightly and it is my sincerest
hope that some may express some useful, pragmatic concern to
mailto:suggestions@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Because I know some of these people so affected, and as I believe
in
and recommend JAWS, I put my hopes with
an strongly believe in the company that makes this marvelous screen
reader.
the over use problem is not to be ignored and is important;
sparing needless keystrokes is " the real deal" when pain and repeat
use
problems limit Internet usage--as others are increasingly
reporting.
