Tony,
This will answer your question more clearly, i think. You will find the
information (such as password, etc.) that is to be answered by you into
the 'read-only edit' (as JAWS calls it) usually - but not always - on
the line in the 'virtualform' immediately above wehre you are to edit
in. (Sometimes the edit area can be above the line in the form
requesting the info.) Reading through the page before acting on it can
help to clear up such quandaries.

Tony,
That depends on the Web site. If we knew the identity, we'd be able
to say what is probably being looked for. Also pay attention to what
preceded the form - there may be a list of particulars provided which
are later to be filled in by you. I turn Forms Mode off by tapping
the PC cursor, and then i down arrow, etc. This can result in more
information being given than may be the case when you leave Forms Mode
on. If it isn't clear the first time, read the page a few more times
until it does become clearer. Don't be afraid to route JAWS cursor to
PC cursor and the likes, when in doubt or difficulty.

Hi All,
Now when I go on to certain websites which have a form field I am
asked for say the surname and then the county, which is no problem,
but then I go down to where it says:
"Read only, edit".
Wonder what "read only, edit" is all about and what should be done
then?
I do the forms mode thing so am then expected to input something.
You don't obviously read in there but are expected to type or you
won't indeed generate a result!
Thanks
Tony
