Mike and others, I do use Jaws 10 or 11 most of the time, but as an
experiment I have used Jaws 8 to see if it worked better. It is definitely
more limited than 10 or 11 in many areas. But my concern was that, even
when using a newer Jaws, the pages show no links or text when going past the
home split button. I'll stay away from 8 since it doesn't read menus, but
would like to know how to make 10 and 11 read the links on the page instead
of seeing it blank. I'm trying to see if it's a Jaws issue and if either a
tool bar needs to be checked or if something in HTML options isn't set
correctly. I know others have had trouble getting pages to come up and
would be interested in how they resolved the issue. Thanks.

Hi Joann;
You mention that you are running Jaws 8. Jaws 8 won't work with IE8. You
need at the minimum, Jaws 9, latest version, and Freedom Scientific says
you
need Jaws 10 to use IE8. If you are going to use Jaws8, I would suggest
rolling back to IE6 / 7, if possible. Hope this helps. Take care.
Mike,
It's tax time! Remember folks, if you add, IRS to the word, the, you get

Subject: [JAWS-Users] internet explorer showing blank pages when using
jaws
I'm using Jaws 10 and 11 with XP Home, and it seems that either of these
2
Jaws versions has not been working when using I.E. 8. What I wish I could
do is get rid of the stuff on the left side of the page--that Web address
and home split button you see. Because that actually seems to be where
the
problem lies--plus it is annoying because you can't just go to links like
you could in I.E. 6. What seems to happen is, it tells you you're on the
right page, but going past that home split thing it shows nothing. I
sometimes see links if I turn off and on the virtual cursor, or if I hit
F5
to refresh. But often I can't get the links and text bodies of the pages
to
show up. I know it went to the right page but something is either
blocking
it or something is maybe set wrong in config. Now the odd thing is,
usually
when using my special version of Jaws 8 this doesn't happen; however I
can't
use Jaws 8 to find a favorite because hitting alt and the letter a it
doesn't read the list of favorites. So if anyone can help resolve these
issues would appreciate it.
Also does F.S. recommend anything regarding tool bars? Should they be
locked, and which ones would one use when browsing with Jaws? I just
wondered if that had any difference in my not getting links to come up.
Thanks.
