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.
----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann byrne" <annakb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>If you have pictures turned off in Internet Explorer, JAWS can't see edit fields associated with them. Under accessibility--in Windows, not JFW.

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.
