ALLRIGHT! Don't get me wrong, I just keep wondering. While we are waiting for the NEW browse mode, which I do understand, may be quite a bit down the road, could this have been fixed with a script, that kind of OVERWRITES the calculation of browse mode, when activated? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aaron Smith" <[email protected]> To: "David" <[email protected]> Cc: "Sam bushman" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 7:34 PM Subject: Re: window eyes support for HTML 5 canvas elementIdeally, yes. In reality, no. This type of functionality is built into the core of browse mode, and is one of the main reasons why we are gutting it, and starting from scratch.

That if it is turned off, the user will be put back in palce, no matter how much the site has been updated? And if it is on, then, it goes on like you describe, recalculating all the time. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aaron Smith" <[email protected]> To: "David" <[email protected]> Cc: "Sam bushman" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 7:10 PM Subject: Re: window eyes support for HTML 5 canvas elementOn 5/28/2009 12:52 PM, David wrote:Try for instance, go to EBay, then do a search for whatever product, and scroll down the list. When you find one that you want - let's say item number 10 on the list - and then press enter, you are taken to the ad of that product. So far, Yes, everything is perfect. BUT! Now, try to press either the Backspace key, or the ALT-LEFT ARROW, to go back to the prior page, and see what will happen.I'm not surprised by this, and, to be honest, it's actually by design in the current implementation of browse mode. Here's what happens: when you visit a web page, Window-Eyes calculates a value based on data about the page (number of lines, cursor position, etc.), and stores that value in memory. If you navigate away from that page, and then come back, Window-Eyes will again calculate the required data, and if it matches what was stored in memory, you're placed back on the line you were on when you left. If, however, the data differs at all, even the slightest bit, you are placed back at the top of the page. We do this on purpose; if the data differs, that means the page has changed and, because we don't want you to miss any potentially important information, we put you back at the top. In the past, this was the accepted, nay desired, behavior for pretty much any page. But times have changed. You see, browse mode didn't break; the web just got busier. As today's web pages become more dynamic and fluid, the values of the data calculated for a given page often don't match the values stored for the same page. Even a single ad changing on a page can make this happen. Say you have an ad for apples when you leave the page, but when you go back, the same ad is for oranges. Even if the rest of the content of the page is exactly the same, that's enough to make the values of the data different. The page could change even before you leave it. Sometimes there are dynamic areas that update with latest news, latest wheels and deals, updating weather information, etc., that would cause the value of the page to be different were you to leave it then come back again. What you are experiencing is an ever changing web landscape that browse mode is not designed for. Browse mode hasn't gotten worse, and it didn't break. Instead, web pages have begun to change more often than in the past. And this feature of browse mode, created in an attempt to provide the most relevant content with every visit to the page, has unfortunately become an aggravating hassle.
