That's what I did, reverted to ie7. -----Original Message----- From: Gerald Levy <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 4:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Screen tracking problems in Internet Explorer 8
I have not experienced the specific problem with IE 8 you describe, but I am encountering other problems with it using JAWS 9. Some web pages that loaded fine with IE 7 will not load with IE 8. In such cases, a dialog box pops up with a message that IE 8 needs to close and recover the web page. So I hit Space on the Close button, and voila,the dialog box pops up again. This happens about five times before IE 8 finally returns to my home page without successfully loading the page in question. I'm considering reverting to IE 7 because of this and other minor issues with IE 8 that make it a hassle to use. It looks like MS jumped the gun and released IE 8 prematurely just like it did with Vista.
