Hi,
Might as well get used to it because FS told me that they will not be
putting legacy support back in ever. So FS will have to get a better handle
on the problem because if I understand correctly Window Eyes uses the DOM
approach to IE and does a good job with it. The reason the DOM is there is
to give readers and other programs more control over getting information
from IE or Office products and not giving less control.

Hi Ben,
This is because you would lose certain functionality with JAWS 8.0. There
used to be a setting under 7.1 that allowed JAWS to render websites using
the method that 7.0 used to use. Although I agree that DOM is useful for
accesibility purposes, it renders websites in a way that JAWS cannot
interact with it. Also, some JAWS functionality would be lost or gets
changed, including Speech and Sounds Scheme, some incorrect rendering of
website text using Screen Layout, and so on.
Cheers,
Joseph

Why is that a bad idea, in your view?
