If you have pictures turned off in Internet Explorer, JAWS can't see edit fields associated with them. Under accessibility--in Windows, not JFW.

Hello All,

I have been on several web sites lately using Jaws 9 where an edit field
that was supposed to be there wasn't at least as far as Jaws was concerned
and I was wondering if anybody could give me some ideas of settings to
change to make these edit fields show?  I generally keep inline frames
hidden except on certain web pages where I have found that I need them
showing, and in most cases I have Jaws set where it only shows me tagged
graphics, but I have even unloaded Jaws and loaded it with the default
settings and got the same results in all cases, Jaws doesn't detect the edit
fields that are supposed to be there.

Thanks.

Troy
