Thanks much Nolan for the confirmation report; it had been suggested there was something wrong with my IE 8 installation; now I really don't think so.
if 7.1 does not fix this, then I'll look at trying to cobble some scripting solution. I've got my doubts though that I could detect anything in a script, which I could use to queue me that a new page had loaded and so browse mode should be turned back on. If a script could detect that happening, then I think WE would be working ok; still, I'll have a go. you don't need the class though in order to start learning scripting. if you're a programmer Jamal has a very nice "learning scripting" script, and there's a scripting wiki, and all the scripting list archived messages, and of course the scripting list itself. There are several example scripts such as fruit basket, and mission impossible. I have e-books on VB scripting I'd be glad to send you (write me at [email protected] ) if you don't know VB script. I think there's a great opportunity here for GW to make a complete "learning scripting" tutorial series and sell it (like access technology institute does). you'd need one on VB scripting, and one on the window eyes object model, and probably a separate one on object oriented programming. Maybe a second one for programmers who just want to learn VB script. each one could be sold separately so people could choose the ones they need. I'm just thinking out loud because GW could make a lot of customers happy, maybe make some money from it, and get more people scripting, which is good for window eyes in the long run.
