Jaws reformats the web page in the vertual
buffer. So what jaws sees is not what is really shown on the screen.

Sometimes when I canât get Jaws to click an
element I ask my sighted husband to click it
with the regular mouse pad. It often seems that
the portion of the webpage visible on the
computer screen does not follow the Jaws PC
cursor. The problem is that when I find the
location with Jaws he says the words are not on
the screen. Shouldnât there be a visible
cursor showing where the Jaws focus is on the
screen? Granted, my husband has vision but no
computer skills so he canât locate the spot I
want him to click without much guidance from
me. Since I canât see the screen at all I
donât know if there is a cursor there or not.
Would it affect Jaws if I tried to make the
mouse pointer bigger or something, if it is
really onscreen at all. Is there some kind
of Jaws page formatting that would make the page
appear in the way sighted people see it? Any
suggestions will be appreciated. Sherrie Gosling
