Please excuse my ignorance. Once again I tried the new command search
feature, insert plus space plus J and looked for caret and for browse to
no avail.
The feature is useless?

will also show what is spoken. Not completely, but for the most part.
Marten,
This can indeed be very useful in its own right, but
take it from a sighted helper, it doesn't solve the original problem
posed. Most of us can tell precisely what JAWS is reading and
saying, the problem is we have absolutely no idea where that is on
the web page itself. If you're on a text-rich webpage in particular,
long wikipedia pages are an excellent example, JAWS can be reading
multiple scrolled pages ahead of what has been left visible on the
screen. Trying to figure out where that actually is on the web page
itself is often really a major production that breaks both flow and
train of thought for the listener.
I still do not have a reply from FS Technical Support of
whether there actually is a practical way to make JAWS force Windows
to scroll the web browser such that what's being read corresponds to
what an assistant can actually see on the screen at that moment, at
least somewhere on that screen.
