Please forgive my ignorance, but what are templates, and where can I find them? Ever since I first started coding web pages, i've been coding from scratch from beginning to end. I have put, what's for me, a whole lot of work in to server side programming, but I haven't paid much attention to how the pages would look to the sighted eye, as long as they read smoothly with jaws and window eyes. This is short sighted on my part, no pun intended! lol, and I'd like to fix that as best as a totally blind person can.

the jaws cursor and the invisible cursor (jaws cursor key twice rapidly) will tell you what things really look at, and the use of templates is a good way to have them turn out decently. HTH, inthane----- Original Message ----- From: "Brent Neal" <bneal@xxxxxxxx>

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 __________ 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
