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!

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.
