Best, Vetri. JAWS – http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Freedom Scientific JAWS8, due out in November, adds enhanced support for IE such as announcement of RSS feeds on web pages and improved navigation of web pages with dynamically updating content. JAWS 7.1, the current shipping version, works well with IE7 with the exception of drop downs on web pages that are expanded or that the user expands. JAWS 7.1 does not read the item with focus in these cases. Freedom Scientific plans to release a free update to JAWS 7.1 that fixes this issue in approximately a week. JAWS 7.0 and earlier have several problems including missing content from frames on web pages, characters occasionally lost when typing in edit boxes, the previously described issues around web drop downs and the fact that JAWS configuration files which add specific enhancements for IE do not load. Updating to JAWS 7.1 from JAWS 7.0 or the 7.1 patch is a free update. Please watch the Freedom Scientific home page for more details. ------------------------ Vetrivel Murugan, Adhimoolam, Department of sociology, The New School for Social Research, 65 fifth avenue, New York, New York 10031.
