Hi Joann; I am sorry. I didn't notice that you said that you are using Jaws 10 & 11 at the top of your message. I guess I should wake the hell up before listening to Jaws! LOL Anyway, in IE8, I have in the view menu / tool bars, only these tool bars checked; menu bar, status bar, & lock the tool bars. I don't use tab browsing, so that is disabled. I don't browse the Internet much at all and so I have very few issues with IE8. Again, my apologies for responding with only half of 1 ear in focus. Take care. Mike, It's tax time! Remember folks, if you add, IRS to the word, the, you get "T H E I R S ". That spells THEIRS! ----- Original Message ----- From: Joanne To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 6:25 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] internet explorer showing blank pages whenusingjaws
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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike & Barbara" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 9:06 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] internet explorer showing blank pages when usingjaws > Hi Joann; > > You mention that you are running Jaws 8.
