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

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.
