Thanks.
I did some more digging, and I'm quite embarrassed. The page that loads up
is an embedded pdf file. I've tried the navigation areas and haven't had any
luck yet in closing out the pdf to get back to the main page. When I choose
alt f4, it asks me if I want to close all tabs, or the current one. I choose
current, and it closes the main page instead, leaving me with only the pdf
page up.
I'm still fairly new to a lot of items that the digital college world has to
offer, but I'm having fun, right?
Right?

I need to explore the navigation options a little more.

It depends but I usually can use either alt left arrow or back space
For instance, when in the BARD site, the back space works well there

In many cases there is a button or link somewhere on the page that will
return you to the previous page. I've also seen it set up that you just
have to pick from the navigation links on the page to get to somewhere other
than the instructions page that you are on. So maybe you need to find the
Assignments button, and then navigate from there.

Happy Saturday list.
Windows 7, JAWS 16, IE12.
I am experiencing an issue with the college blackboard platform that is
driving me crazy. When I enter to a certain formatted page to read
assignment directions, and then try to use the alt left arrow command to go
back a page, it does not work, and I am forced to exit blackboard entirely
and then go through the process of logging in and making my way back to the
class page.
I checked to see if there are tabs for previously viewed blackboard pages,
but there are none.
Is there any additional commands that can be used to try and go back a page?
I am using IE and am wondering if Blackboard and JAWS work better together
with Firefox.
Any help and info will be greatly appreciated.
Deon
