I'm getting along pretty well with Jaws except for using it on the web, where I just don't seem to be doing things right. Is there any easy way to know if you're in forms mode or not while in an edit field? Frequently I go to a site and you might be thrown into a login section. How do you know if you can just start typing away ... sometimes when I try to do that, it doesn't type at all and if I happen to type a b it's looking for a button, or a t would be looking for a table, etc. On the other hand if I press enter hoping to get into forms mode, sometimes it turns out I'm already in forms mode so pressing enter executes my blank edit field and takes me to the next screen. So is there any way I can find out from Jaws before trying to type if I'm currently in forms mode or not?Another question I have is sometimes I'm in an edit field and feel stuck because typing does nothing but pressing enter also does nothing. An example of when this happens to me is in Google, an initial search works fine but when I bring the cursor up to the edit field at the top of the screen to do a second search I can't type anything in or get into forms mode by pressing enter. A friend of mine said I should press the plus key on the numpad, then press enter, but that doesn't work for me in this situation. It appears Jaws has put me at the end of the Google edit field and I can backspace characters to delete them but I can't type in new ones. When I am stuck like this if you can believe it I am actually turning Jaws off so I can type, then turning Jaws back on to hear the results from Google, and I can't tell you how dumb this makes me feel.I am using Jaws 10 with XP.
