Sigh of relief! Thank you. I just managed to change the forms mode setting. I had to wait till I was trying to post, then do the insert thing. Otherwise the setting for autoforms wasn't available. Nomore posting/refreshing issue, yay! Thanks!

I've had the loading twice thing, too. And yes, it'll just dump me into forms mode, or kick me out of it just as fast. Very unpredictable. I'll change that setting and see if that helps! Thanks! Very clear, btw. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2018 4:22 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Page Refreshing Kicking Me out of Typing Field A few thoughts. First, with JAWS, some webpages act as if they load twice. I will click on a link and JAWS will start speaking the next page. I assume all is well and start navigating, typing, etc. However, it turns out JAWS hasn't processed the page yet, and so after a pause (which I don't always catch), JAWS resumes speaking from the top again. This is especially true with webpages that have lots of links and other controls. When I know from experience that I'm about to go to such a page, I wait until JAWS starts speaking a second time. Only then do I go to work on it. Second, I wonder how you're handling forms mode. If I remember correctly, the JAWS default is "auto." This means that when a page opens, JAWS seeks out an edit field and puts you in it. I've long since given up on that setting. Instead, I have it set to manual. Go into JAWS quick settings with insert-v, then arrow down to "Autoforms." Press spacebar until JAWS says "manual" and tab to okay to confirm. This will give you the choice of whether or not to go into an edit field. In this case, you would press e (the quick navigation key for "edit field") and once there, press enter to enable you to enter your username, password, etc. Note that once in forms mode, you can tab from field to field without leaving forms mode. I found that in auto forms mode, JAWS would act unpredictably. With JAWS, it's crucial to have maximum user control. I hope this is both clear and relevant. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Fuzzmom Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2018 2:24 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Page Refreshing Kicking Me out of Typing Field Hi. New to the list, to Jaws and to computers. How do you stop a page from refreshing when you are typing/ I'm on afew forums and All of them seem to auto refresh! I have done the insert, typed "refresh" selected "off' and then hit ok. I have also shut down and restarted the computer afew ties since then. It still says the refresh feature is off. But everytime I start typing, it either jumps lines, causing some really funky posts which I then have to clean up, or kicks me out of the type field completely. Did I miss a step? Is iththe sites themselves? FS didn't have any further advice toher than what I just did when I called them. Very frustrating. Thank you so much.
