There is. You can use the settings center to tell JAWS that on that particular
domain, you would want to revert from Smart Navigation Controls and Tables,
back to off. Here is the section in the What's New that talks about that
process and how to do it.

Eric
Use Settings Center to Configure Settings for a Specific Web Site
In JAWS 17, you can now apply settings changes to a specific web site domain
using Settings Center. For instance, if you use Smart Navigation and you have a
particular web site where you would prefer not to have this feature active, you
can open Settings Center from the current site and turn it off. Smart
Navigation will continue working on all other web sites.
To configure web site specific settings, do the following:
Open the web site where you want settings changes to apply.
Press INSERT+F2, select Settings Center, and press ENTER.
Press SHIFT+TAB to move to the application list and locate Default. Press
DOWN ARROW one time and you should find the name of your current site followed
by (domain). For example, if you open Settings Center from the Freedom
Scientific web site, you should see something like www.freedomscientific.com
(Domain).
While the web site name is selected, press TAB to move to the Search edit
and type all or part of the setting you want to change. For example, "smart"
for Smart Navigation, "Forms" for Forms Mode options, etc.
Press DOWN ARROW to move to the filtered results of the Settings Center
tree view and make your preferred settings changes.
Press TAB to move to the OK button and activate it with the SPACEBAR. The
changes are made and saved. Settings Center closes.
Now, whatever you have set for the current web site should only be applied when
any pages on this site are open and have focus. For example, if you set Smart
Navigation to Controls and Tables for the Freedom Scientific web site, it
should be off for all other web sites which is the default, unless you are on
Freedomscientific.com.

Smart Navigation, my weather page is being read in a much different fashion
than it was an I'd like to change it back but I do not want to lose the Smart
Navigation for my other pages. Is there a way?

I changed the subject line to reflect your question concerning how much we
understand.
Doesn't look like the current smart navigation. Did not notice that striking
certain keys, such as H, would jump from heading to heading.
Looks like we have to do three keystrokes to get the same thing we now get
with one keystroke.
They are talking about doing the keystrokes twice quickly.
Where is the option to have it like it is in windows 7?

Respected friend, here is the detail of smart navigation of jaws 17.
Read and let me know how much have you understood!
Smart Navigation, More Efficient Interaction with Complex Web Pages and
Applications Today and in the future, users will be faced with an increased
need to work with complex web forms, tables, and even applications that run
inside of a web browser. This will impact your day to day interactions with
services on-line such as banking and shopping, in addition to many web apps
found in both companies and government agencies. For instance, Internet
Explorer can be used to log onto a Microsoft SharePoint server to collaborate
with other co-workers and create and store documents. The new Smart Navigation
feature is designed to make it more efficient when navigating web-based
applications with the Virtual Cursor as the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW or CTRL+LEFT
and
CTRL+RIGHT ARROW commands move by control instead of character and word.
This makes navigation such as moving across toolbars, tab strips, and
navigation links more like navigating around a desktop application. Pressing
the Say Character, Say Word, or Say Line commands twice quickly changes to the
traditional navigation by character, word, line, sentence, and paragraph so you
can review the text of the control. Smart Navigation resumes when you press
ESC, or move to a different control by pressing UP or DOWN ARROW or TAB.
For example, if you use the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys to move across a tab
strip, you might hear JAWS announce something like; "Home tab selected,"
"Insert tab," and "Page Layout tab." If you wanted to review the items on the
tab strip character by character, press the Say Character (NUM PAD 5), Say Word
(INSERT+NUM PAD 5), or Say Line (INSERT+UP ARROW) commands twice quickly. You
can now navigate by character or word until you press DOWN ARROW to move away
from the tab strip to another control.
Smart Navigation is off by default. To turn it on, do the following:
Press INSERT+F2, select Settings Center, and press ENTER.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+D to open the default settings file if you want to use Smart
Navigation in all web browsers, or open the Internet Explorer or Firefox
settings file.
Type "smart navigation" without the quotes into the Search edit box.
Press DOWN ARROW to move to Smart Navigation in the filtered results of the
Settings Center tree view.
Press the SPACEBAR to choose the Smart Navigation option you want to use.
Press TAB to move to the OK button and activate it with the SPACEBAR. The
changes are made and saved. Settings Center closes.
Alternatively, Smart Navigation can be enabled for all web browsers through the
Startup Wizard, or through Quick Settings (INSERT+V). For instance, you may
want to use Smart Navigation in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer.
Smart Navigation offers two modes, Controls, and Controls and Tables.
When set to Controls, most web-based controls, including, but not limited to,
buttons, links, edit fields, list boxes, tree views, and headings, are treated
as single units when navigating by character or word. Performing a Say
Character, Say Word, and Say Line command twice quickly while focused on a
control will switch to character and word Navigation so you can use the
traditional navigation by character, word, line, sentence, and paragraph to
review a control, such as the text of a button or link, in greater detail.
Smart Navigation by controls automatically resumes when you press ESC, or move
to another control using TAB or UP or DOWN ARROW. If you encounter a table, you
will still use the table reading commands (CTRL+ALT+ARROW keys) or the Table
layer (INSERT+SPACEBAR, t) to navigate the table.
When set to Controls and Tables, navigation is the same as the Controls option
when not in a table. However, if focused inside of a table, the RIGHT and LEFT
ARROW keys move between columns while the UP and DOWN ARROW keys move between
rows. When focused in a cell and it contains any controls, such as a heading,
or an edit field, pressing the Say Character, Say Word, or Say Line commands
twice quickly will switch to control navigation, and performing these commands
again twice quickly will switch to character and word navigation. If the cell
does not contain controls, you can only switch to character and word
navigation. Pressing ESC or moving focus away from the control or table cell
will switch back to the prior navigation level, for example, pressing ESC while
in character and word navigation will return to Smart Navigation in tables.
When Smart navigation is active, press ALT+DELETE or INSERT+TAB to have JAWS
announce the current Smart Navigation level.
Anytime you are using Smart Navigation, either set to Controls or Controls and
Tables, JAWS will work in Screen Layout. This presents pages in the virtual
buffer similar to how they appear visually on the screen. Toolbar buttons or
other lists of controls that are visually laid out horizontally on the screen
are displayed on one line in the virtual document, allowing a single press of
the DOWN ARROW to skip the entire toolbar instead of having to move from button
to button to get past it.
For a great example, please try JAWS 17 on a web form such as the Web Track
sample form on the Surf's Up pages. On this page, you will be able to see the
power of navigating more efficiently with the DOWN ARROW then in previous
versions.
New Sound Indication for Links
As you navigate by line with Smart Navigation active, JAWS plays a sound if the
current line contains one or more links which would generally be displayed on
separate lines when you are not in Smart Navigation. This sound helps you
identify that a link exists and gives you a chance to pause to hear about it or
use TAB or the ARROW keys to move to it. To keep this sound from being too
intrusive, it is not heard if a line contains a link that is preceded by less
than five characters. For instance, a bulleted or numbered list that contains a
link directly after the number or bullet.

Hello Gang:
Exactly what is the JAWS smart navigation, to which several of you have
commented? Is that just the keys like H to jump to headings, V for visited
links, et cetra?
If not that, what is it? What does it do? And, how do you activate smart
navigation?
