Hi Rose,Don't know if this will help. After doing a Google search, I hit the semicolon twice. The first time, Jaws says navigation landmark. The second time, Jaws says main landmark. Arrow down once and Jaws says results and one more arrow down puts me to the first item in the list of results. . This approach completely skips ads & extraneous info and is very quick. I'm using Jaws and IE 8.Shari ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rose Combs" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 12:54 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] I am trying to learn flexible web. > True, however, once you get a list of results you are still focused in the > edit field and there is a lot of stuff to go through to get to those > results.
