Hi Joanne, Tab browsing is a way of displaying multiple websites in a single Internet Explorer window. It works similar to multipage dialog that you see with file properties, settings under Control Panel and so forth. From a visual point of view, the title for each website in a given IE7 session is represented by a tab (similar to multipage dialog). To move between websites in tab order, press CTRL plus TAB (same as multipage dialog). To move backwards, press CTRL plus Shift plus TAB. If we go into technical point of view, it does the following: The program executable for IE7 is ieframe.dll (or iexplorer.exe_. When it is started, it starts a thread, loads the home page that is set under Tools/Option. (a thread is a subcode of a program that is a part of a program; thus, it shares same memory space as parent program) When a user presses CTRL plus t to open a new webpage in a new tab, IE starts a new thread by displaying a new webpage called "About Tabs." This website tells you more about how Tab browsing works and how to move between "page tabs". When you press CTRL plus TAB, the focus moves between websites (just like Alt plus TAB, except that it is same program session; unlike CTRL plus TAB, Alt plus TAB moves focus from one program window to another). After you are done, press CTRL plus f4 (CTRL plus w). This tells IE to shutdown the thread that opened the new page in a new tab. Hope it explains in simple language. If it was too deep for you (or any others), let me know. Cheers, Joseph

I'm using Jaws 8 and am not understanding this tab browsing concept and how to make it work with Jaws. Is there a help or tutorial somewhere explaining this? I don't understand why, every time I enter on a Web page, I'm partially on the page but partially still on my home page. Rather confusing so hope there's a help out there for those of us wanting to learn it. >Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: >http://www.jaws-users.com >Address for the list archives: >http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] >To post to this group, send email to >[email protected] >To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Use the following form in order to contact the management team >http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php >If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: >[EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
