Subject: [vip_students] Using jaws to navigate a web page!
Hi All,
I was thinking of what might be useful items to post up on the list and I
remembered some lessons I once took down from the Freedom scientific web
site. These lessons contain information on how best to use the internet with
jaws so I decided to post them up here, just one lesson at a time for your
convenience. I would like to know if you tried the lessons and report back
to the list how you found using them.
Now lets begin, find the lesson below and please note that there is an
attached file in this email. Just save the attached file into your "My
Documents folder" and then press the enter key on it to open it up in
internet explorer
If you keep this email open so you can read the instructions below then use
your "alt + tab" keys to jump from this document to the web page and vice
versa. You can complete the exercise in this way.
(Exercise: Saving the attachment)
1. Open up the email.
2. Press keys "alt + F" to open up the file menu.
3. Arrow down to "save attachment" and press the enter key.
4. Tab to the save button and press the enter key.
This should have saved the web page attachment into your "my documents
folder".
Exercise:Navigating Web Pages
JAWS makes reading Web pages easy. When you visit a page with Internet
Explorer, JAWS immediately begins reading the page from the top down. In
this section,
you will learn about
Navigation Quick Keys
, reading text, and navigating headings, lists, links, and images.
Reading Text
JAWS uses the Virtual Cursor to read and move through HTML pages. The
Virtual Cursor is invisible to sighted users, but JAWS users can use this
cursor to
read and select text and move to different elements on the page.
The commands used to read Web pages are the same as the commands used to
read text in any other type of document. You can also select and copy text
on Web
pages. The attached sample page
Jim's Cafe at Innisport
demonstrates the layout and content of a typical Web page on the Internet.
To practice reading text on the Internet with JAWS open Jim's Café and You
can alt tab back to your window and refer to these instructions. JAWS
remembers where you are on the page, so you won't lose your place.
When the page loads, JAWS begins reading it. Press CTRL+HOME to move to the
top of the page. Then press P twice to move to the second paragraph on the
page.
Use the standard JAWS reading commands
to read the text on the page. Any command that you can use to read text or
Word documents can be used when reading Web pages.
Press SHIFT+P until you return to the first paragraph on the page.
Tip: The letter P is a Navigation Quick Key that lets you move by paragraph
through the page. There are other Navigation Quick Keys that let you move
through
all the headings, links, images, and other elements on the page.
If you hold SHIFT when you press one of these keys, JAWS moves to the
previous element.
For example, pressing SHIFT+P moves you to the previous paragraph.
Tip: press INSERT+F7 to display a list of links on any web page and you can
enter on the one you require.

Navigation Quick Keys for JAWS
Navigation Quick Keys make it faster and easier to move around on a Web page
and anywhere else the Virtual Cursor is active. These commands are all
assigned
to keys on the main part of the keyboard, and are easy to remember and use.
Press ALT+F4 to close this page when you are finished reading it.
HTML Navigation Quick Keys for Say All
Many of the new Navigation Quick Keys are also available while using Say All
on a Web page. The commands to move by heading, paragraph, form control,
table,
list, same or different element, next element, and to move to non link text
all work while you are using the Say All command.
Tip: You can use the SHIFT key in combination with many of the keystrokes in
the table below to move to the previous unit or element.
Summary: This table list navigation quick keys that you can use to move
through forms on Web pages.

Lists of Elements
If you hold down CTRL+INSERT before pressing certain navigation quick keys,
JAWS displays a list of all elements of that particular type on the page.
For
example, to display a list of all check boxes on the page, press
CTRL+INSERT+X. Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to select an item in the list.
You can then
press ENTER to move to that item's location on the page.
You can use this keystroke to view lists of the following elements: anchors,
block quotes, buttons, check boxes, combo boxes, divisions, edit boxes,
graphics,
lists, items in a list, paragraphs, radio buttons, and tables.
