Actually, I am set to read the entire page. After checking more thoroughly,
the edit box I am in is 124 lines down the page, so it would take along time
for Window-Eyes to read it. It just takes time to ghet used to it. It's so
easy to start pressing keys frantically when the result is not what I think
it should be. The Juno web page to which I referred assumes that you wish to
sign into your E-mail account. I'm sure other web pages are designed this
way, also. I would hope we can get used to a seamless browse mode rather
than go backwards.

Tom and others,
When you say you don't know you are on an edit box, is this because you
have set your verbosity such that we don't read the first 24 lines or do
a read to end on the page? Because if you do have the default of 24
lines, you hear edit box as the first line indicating you are on the
edit box. But if you have it setup to not read anything...well, you
don't hear anything.

I also like the idea of a seamless browse mode. However I agree that it
would be good to know where you are when a web page loads and you are put
on a control. Try the link, http://my.juno.com/s/sp. You will land in an
edit box, but you won't know why or where. I very much appreciate the work
GW has done and is continuing to do on the new Window-Eyes release.

Now that would be a good idea -- is that possible?

The idea of browse mode turning off on its own is a good one but in
the beta it needs work.
An example where it is causing me confusion is when you go to a web
page and you find that browse mode has been turned off because you
have landed on a edit box. Problem WE doesn't say where you are. It
would be so much better if WE announced that you are on a edit box and
what the edit box is for example search edit box or user id edit box
etc. The state it is in now is only confusing.
