Hi Tom,
I'm working with IE11 on windows8.1 and JAWS17
But I couldn't found any issues.
Have you tried re-installing JAWS?
Firefox is a good browser, but IE is great.
Also, witch OS are you using?
Let's see if this problem can be fixed.
Regards,
Amit

Hello, everyone.
As some of you may remember, I have been reluctant to move from IE 10
to IE 11, because of problems I had last summer with IE 11 in terms of
being able to enter text into text boxes on web sites that I access.
However, since I now have been forced to upgrade to IE 11 due to no
Microsoft support for IE 10, I decided to take the leap today, and
install IE 11.
I installed IE 11 from the .exe file that I downloaded and saved from
the Microsoft web site, and the installation seemed to go well.
I also was pleasantly surprised to find that my internet favorites had
all been preserved, even though I had saved my favorites folder as a
back-up, in case something went wrong.
However, this is where the good news ends.
I’m now back to having the same text-entry problems I had last
summer. I had my sighted wife watch while I ttried entering text into
edit boxes, and she tells me that my main cursor does not move when I
try to do so. As I enter text, Jaws speaks the text, but it is not
entered into the web form. I have Jaws set to manually enter forms
mode, so I know I’m in forms mode, since I get the higher-sounding
click whenever I hit enter.
I have made sure all add-ons, extensions, and toolbars are disabled,
but so far, no joy!
Last summer when I had this issue, I worked with Freedom Scientific
Technical Support, with the Microsoft Accessibility hotline staff,
and with another well-experienced Jaws user from this list, and we
could never solve the issue.
At least I have Firefox now as my main internet browser, and that
works fine!
If anyone has any other suggestions of things for me to try, please
send them my way.
I am extremely frustrated with Internet Explorer at this point!
