I use the AMC DVS movie listing site quite a bit and understand that do to the content of the site changing weekly that place markers are not a useful Toole with this page. E.G. If I put a place marker ware the Philadelphia listings start and try to use that place marker the following week, it puts me in a different location on the page. It's my understanding that this has to do with the amount of context on the page changing. My way around this is that I use the find feature and just search for Philadelphia. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Ferrin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2008 8:48 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] a placemarker question...
