I don't know. I've always had these sorts of problems with internet Explorer, mostly with it closing unexpectedly because of some error, or scripts on a page just slowing everything down so much that they stopped working. Back in the day, most of my IT friends were telling people not to use IE. It took me a long time to get on board with Firefox, when I was using my XP machine, and even then I ended up going back to iE from time to time because sometimes it did seem like JAWS worked nicely with it. As time went on, though, I found this to be less and less the case. It got to the point where many of my favourite websites just did not work properly in IE anymore. You could still use them, but some of the functionality just wasn't available. Now when I try to go to goodreads.com with iE, for instance, I can't even find my own reviews when I click on a book's page. The WWW is just leaving Internet Explorer behind, and Microsoft has acknowledged this by bringing in an entire new browsing experience: Edge. Edge is n o good for me though, and I'm not going to settle for something that works so poorly. But Microsoft has never really dissuaded anyone from using third party products, and well they shouldn't. At this point, I think that's really what most of us have to do.
It would be nice if browsers, as well as other software, had accessibility built into them, and I guess that is the "new paradigm" of things. This way the screen-reader developers wouldn't constantly have to be struggling to keep up. But, I guess this isn't really the problem, as far as IE goes, most of the time. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Judy Jones Sent: December 14, 2017 8:32 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Internet Explorer or Jaws? Hello again, Revisiting an old question. Wit, it seems, most everyone noticing the hangup of Internet Explorer at inopportune moments, is this due to the way it is now interacting with Jaws? Is there a fix that the developers need to buckle down and work on, or is this an uncooperative Microsoft issue? I have noticed this behavior in the last several versions of Jaws, but what can we users do to help "make it better?" Thanks in advance for the input.
