Hi Lamar,
To me, a template can be a page you use all the time to make other pages. for example, let's say that you start making a web site. You might make a page that has a blank body, but has a top menu, a menu down the left side, and a footer. You would then use that starting page or template when you want to make the pages in your site so that you don't have to create each page from scratch. 

That's one way to think of a template. Does that make sense?

Thanks.

Jim

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. 

With All Respect,
Upshaw, Lamar T

Good information.
Thank You

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.

Thank You. That will help. I may have questions about how to place things 
on certain parts of the page but I will see if I can figure it out first.

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.

At work I am learning to use APEX to program web pages.  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.
