Hi everyone:
I was helping a friend update his antivirus on his laptop and discovered that,
on many web sites, Jaws is not saying the edit field. On Google.com, for
example, if I press the letter E, it will go to the place where the search
field should be. Instead of saying "search edit," though, it simply says blank.
The search area sounds like this: search, blank, blank, search button. Pressing
spacebar or enter does nothing. I have tried it with other web sites and it
seems to work with some, like gmail and freedomscientific, but not others, like
amazon or Yahoo, where it does the exact same thing I just described about
Google.
He has a Toshiba laptop, Windows home premium, and Jaws 9, latest version. I
ran two repairs on jaws, and then I completely removed and did a clean install
of Jaws, all to no avail. I have never experienced anything like this before.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Deanne
