Hi Vincent, If you are using a version of jaws earlier than V9 and you downloaded internet explorer 8, this could be your problem. You would need to roll back to an earlier version of IE or else upgrade your jaws to jaws 11. Also remove any toolbars that may be influencing this behavior. Go into your view menu then right arrow into toolbars and uncheck by pressing enter key on any toolbars such as the google toolbar etc. Paul. -----Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of vincent stack Sent: 16 February 2010 15:03 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] jaws problems with form fields hello folks the last few days I seem to be having a problem with jaws in form fields and combo boxes. for instance when I go on to Google and try to search for something in the search box I enter the name/ details for what I am looking for and press enter normally it comes up and says that there is 20 headings which I can look at. now there is nothing coming up and when I go back into the search box it is blank like I put nothing in there. also with combo boxes they wont open properly to see the options in there. and other times when I put in all the details and press enter it tells me that there is in any of the fields filled in. please help. many thanks. regards Vincent ________________________________ I am using the Free version of SPAMfighter <http://www.spamfighter.com/len> .
