If you are an IE user and have said that from time to time you are
having focus issues or browse mode isn't available until you alt-tab
away or whatever, you may want to give this a try. Many times IE
toolbars get installed usually without the user's knowledge or approval
and they cause all sorts of focus issues. Meaning they change where
focus goes so instead of going to the document content they go somewhere
else causing Window-Eyes to think (for good reason) that focus isn't on
the web page and thereby doesn't allow browse mode as one example. So
if you think this is the case, please do these steps for IE only:
1) While in IE press alt-V to bring up the View menu
2) press T for the toolbars pulldown
3) arrow up and down through the list. This will show you all the
toolbars you have installed. If the item is checked then it is active.
Please uncheck all items except for the last item which is "Lock the
toolbars". The lock option can remain on. Note every time you hit
enter on an option it will toggle between checked and unchecked and you
will be thrown out of the menu so you'll need to do steps 1 and 2 again
to get back to the menu to uncheck other options if necessary.
Restart IE and see if your weird focus issues have gone away.
Thanks,
Doug
