Hello,
I started out with the full versions using Jaws 10. Like I mentioned on the
Jaws - Users group in order to chat you must have Internet Explorer 8
(someone else may have to chime in and tell you how to chat using I.E. 7. I
think a Jaws-User by the name of Sue uses I.E. 7 to chat . If they will they
can tell you how to go about it using I.E. 7, but this is what works for
me.), if you are going to chat using the facebook site. I will give
instructions assuming that you are using the internet explorer 8 mentioned
earlier and the facebook.com site. Facebook has made some changes that I
have not quite figured out yet when it comes to closing the facebook chat
window (there are some unlabelled buttons below and I think above the chat
window and when I have played around with them I have managed to get the
chat window to close not sure if these have anything to do with closing the
window or not but if it works then I will use it). However, your wanting to
know how to establish a chat and this is how. One, find the words chat which
will be located near the top of the page. Secondly, you can try to press
enter on this to try and open the chat window, but if that does not work
then try a simulated left mouse click I think on a standard key board it is
the multiply key or the key right above the multiply key on the num pad; on
the laptop with laptop layout selected it will be the caps lock key serving
as the jaws key and the number 8 on the number row. After doing this you
will want to do a refresh of the screen you can do this by pressing your
jaws key and the escape key at the same time. After doing this find your
word chat again and scroll down below that, here you should find a list of
your friends currently online. Once you find the friend you are wanting to
chat to press the enter key on that person's name. Pressing enter on the
person's name will open up a chat window and once you find the chat window
you can go up and if your forms mode is not automatic you can press space
bar to turn it on and start typing your message. Now that you have your
message typed out you can press enter and it should send the message, but if
you don't feel that it was sent then prress the escape key and press enter
again once out of forms mode. Your message should show up as listing your
name or the word "me" and a time listed out beside it if your message was
sent. Follow the same steps for turning forms mode on and responding back to
someone that has sent you a message. This is what I use to chat within the
facebook site. I hope this helps. When using facebook I have found when
sending messages also that refresh of the screen (jaws key + escape key)
will become your best friend. *LOL*

Hi,
I have no problems using Facebook Chat with JAWS 11 on Internet
Explorer 7. I only wish there is a way to close the Chat window
completely because the person' name is always on top.
Regards,
Siew Ling

It may be this afternoon before I am able to respond since I will be
going
over to the college here in a little bit to work in the lab. I have I.E.

once I.E. 8 came out facebook chat would no longer work with earlier
versions of internet explorer. Take care
