hi Stephen ,
if appropriate markup is not there in the html form being viewwed jaws does
not read it properly..
in such case you can use 'shift + insert + f1'
which will display the html element information----- ;
from that info by reading name of the element you may get some idea about
the purpose of the edit field.Original

In these cases you need to be willing to go in and out of forms mode. Actually, I never rely on what JAWS reads as I go through a form in forms mode. Sometimes the wrong message is read for the current entry field. You leave forms mode by pressing the numpad plus button and return by pressing enter on the field where you're about to enter data.

hello list.
some forms i have come across are easier to fill out than others.
a lot of forms will tell you what part you are filling out, i.e the first edit box might be your name and the second your e mail address.
on the other hand some forms are a pain.
i recently came across one that i couldn't fill out because i didn't know what edit box i was on.
even a say line jaws keystroke didn't tell me what edit box i was on it just said edit.
my question is this.
is there a keystroke that i can perform to get jaws to tell me what edit box i am on or is there any other way i can find out?
also while in forms mode how do i get out of it?
all help appreciated.
stephen
