The following information was located in the Jaws 11 Help file by using the Key Word Indexing function. Below, you will find the basics. But there is much more to be founbd by using the Jaws Help feature in your own system.
PlaceMarkers A PlaceMarker is a bookmark that you can easily add to a Web page, HTML document, or form to mark a location. This is useful when you want to return to commonly used areas on a Web page, important sections or paragraphs of an HTML document, or specific parts, such as required fields, of a complicated form. PlaceMarkers can be defined as temporary or permanent and can be anchored to text or elements of the current Web page or to its domain. The following describes how to add, rename, or delete PlaceMarkers. If you are not familiar with PlaceMarkers and need more information, refer to Important <mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Freedom%20Scientific\JAWS\11.0\Help\enu\po papps.chm::/internet/internet_explorer_5/placemarkers.htm#Concepts> PlaceMarker Concepts. For additional PlaceMarker operation, refer to Advanced <mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Freedom%20Scientific\JAWS\11.0\Help\enu\po papps.chm::/internet/internet_explorer_5/placemarkers.htm#Advanced> PlaceMarker Usage. Adding a Temporary PlaceMarker To quickly add a temporary PlaceMarker, do the following: 1. Open a web page or other HTML document. 2. Move the virtual cursor to the location on the page where you want to put the PlaceMarker. 3. Press CTRL+WINDOWS Key+K. A temporary PlaceMarker now appears on the page. You can always jump to it using any of the following Navigation <mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Freedom%20Scientific\JAWS\11.0\Help\enu\po papps.chm::/internet/internet_explorer_5/qk_nav_ie.htm> Quick Keys: K, SHIFT+K, SHIFT+ number row keys 7 through 0, or CTRL+SHIFT+K. (The last keystroke opens the PlaceMarker List. Select Temporary from the list, and then choose the Move To button.) Adding Permanent PlaceMarkers To add a PlaceMarker, do the following: 1. Open a web page or other HTML document. 2. Move the virtual cursor to the location on the page where you want to put the PlaceMarker. 3. Press CTRL+SHIFT+K and then ENTER. The Add PlaceMarker dialog box opens with focus in the Name edit field. It contains text that appears at the cursor location. If you want to change the PlaceMarker name, type a new name in this field; otherwise, press TAB to move to the next control. 4. The Define for All Pages on Current Domain check box is cleared by default, which allows the PlaceMarker to be anchored only to the current Web page or HTML document. If you want to use this PlaceMarker so that it is anchored to all pages within the current domain instead, press SPACEBAR to select the check box. Press TAB to move to the next control. 5. The Anchor to Text check box is cleared by default. Select this check box if you want to link the PlaceMarker with specific text, such as a heading, that appears on the page. This can be useful on frequently updated Web pages where text and elements tend to drift from their original position. When selected, the next control, Anchor Text edit field, automatically populates using the original text in the Name edit field. This guarantees that the PlaceMarker will always be associated with this text on the Web page. 6. Press TAB to navigate to the OK button and press SPACEBAR to close the dialog box and save the PlaceMarker.
