If you hit insert+shift+v while on a Web page, you can set a wide assortment of options, and these settings will be saved for the domain name you're on. For example, if you were to go to my site at www.ogts.net, and then while there invoke insert+shift+v, you could make setting adjustments that only take effect when you are somewhere on the ogts.net site. Another example of where this comes in handy is that I like to keep the rendering of flash on for the most part, so I won't inadvertently miss something. Unfortunately, cjob.com makes use of flash in a way JAWS doesn't appreciate, so I have rendering of flash turned off for cjob.com. I can be anywhere on that site, and it won't bother me with flash. This is a very powerful, at least to me, argument in favor of JFW.

this sounds like a very appealing option.  I'm not familiar with where it is
you make these settings, Rose, either as defaults or specific to a
particular URL.  I certainly don't mind reading the instructions, but could
you tell me which topic to look for in Jaws help in order to learn about
this feature?

Thanks very much,
Daniel

This is where the personalize web page feature is great, you can turn
off the mouse-over links for pages where you don't need them by going to
read elements and turning it off or on, on pages where they are helpful
you can leave the feature running.  I leave my configuration set to show
the defaults and do personalize web pages for pages where either the
mouse-over does not do anything or where I don't need to hear them.

Wow, I'm really glad you mentioned your solution, because I had no idea
1.
that youcould turn off the mouse-over links that now announce themselves
all
over the Web, and 2.  that if you did, you'd wipe out Jaws's ability to
see
most links on some pages.  I am an Audible customer, and on the audible
site, as on some others with links of this type, I've nearly blocked out
the
distracting announcement while waiting to hear the actual name of the
link.
Hard to explain.  In any case, thanks for reporting this experience.

Well I figured it out.  I needed to adjust the config manager to
accommodate
those pesky mouse over links on Odible.  I turned off graphical links in
order to browse EBay faster which hid the important links on the Audible
sight..

erk! !

Hi,
I am still using Jaws 6.0, and haven't yet installed jaws 6.20. At
this
point, everything on the Audible site is as accessible as it was for
me
with earlier versions. Your inquiry is the first time I've heard
anyone 
say
that the update may have ruined their Audible access.  Any other
Audible
users here who've also downloaded and installed version 6.20? It's
hard 
to
believe that it could mess up the accessibility of that site so much.
But 
if it does, that's a serious problem for a lot of Jaws users, I'd say.

hello,

Since I have installed jfw 6.02 I have not been able to find links
like My
account, Herd programs, add to shopping cart etc on Audible's web
site. 
Has
anyone else experienced this phenomena?  Is Audible down for the
count? 

Thanks...Keith
