Hi Adrian,

What is different about your way verses Ann's way?  Could you explain Ann's 
way please?  There is something that  isn't clicking for me trying to use 
Ann's way.  Thank you very much.

Mike

This morning I tried Ann Byrne's suggestion (see below) for turning on "show
pictures" to gain access to some online edit fields. Before I turned it on,
I couldn't access a certain website; after I did, I could. So thank you.

G.W. Cox wrote off-list to tell me a quicker way of reaching the "show
pictures" option. Once in the advanced tab under "options" within "tools,"
press "s" until you hear it spoken. With XP and IE6, I find I need to press
"s" only five times.

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
