No there isn't. Unfortunately a blind person can't create a web design of a very good quality by aligning and sizing the page elements by pixels. We can see where the text is placed, the font size, colors... so we can calculate aproximately the dimension of a text field or combo box that contain that text, but we can't know for sure the dimensions of all non-text elements.

You can get information about the position of a certain piece of text with Jaws, using the jaws cursor (the mouse cursor), then pressing alt+Delete. This will tell you the x/y coordinates. Octavian----- Original Message ----- From: "Brent Neal" <bneal@xxxxxxxx>

When programming web pages using JAWS, how do you know where you are putting the information on the page so that it looks good to the sighted user. For example how do you know where you are placing your comboboxes and radio buttons, etc. Also how do you know where you are placing your text? When I read web pages with JAWS I often do not understand how the page is laied out unless a sighted user explains it even if I understand the information. __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
