You may have to tweak individual Web sites. Forms mode is one of the highly personalizable (eat your heart out, Ogden Nash) features which can be tailored to perform differently on different sites--auto, semi-auto, manual.

To get out of forms mode on the web page, just press the PC cursor, or + key on the number key pad. To navigate the Lowes web site and others like it with the minimum number of problems, I have found that using the space bar to initiate a link instead of the enter key keeps it from jumping into forms mode, and makes the navigating much smoother. hth, Mike [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Tom Behler Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2015 6:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] flip-flop forms mode I have this problem too with certain web sites. My question is: How do you exit out of forms mode, and how do you set Jaws for manual forms mode? I use Jaws 14 here at home, and Jaws 16 at work, both with 64-bit Windows 7 computers.

Jaws likes to go in and out of forms mode when navigating through the site. In many places, you can't simply go to a link and hit enter. It will only click the link when Jaws goes into forms mode. This is particularly annoying when you find something you want to look at in greater depth. To read the site, you have to constantly exit out of forms mode. Sometimes when a page loads, it goes in and out of forms mode quickly (flip-flop). Any ideas on how to fix this? Tried setting Jaws for manual forms mode only but this did not work. Using Jaws 16.
