For the record, I find flexible web a colossal waste of time. The one or two times I went to the trouble (and I do mean trouble) of configuring a page this way, the web designers later changed the format and rendered my settings useless.
To my mind, the best way of handling annoyingly complex webpages that I plan to return to is to use the JAWS navigation keys and make mental notes. I note whether h works for headers, if 1 gets me where I want, how many times I need to press n to get to the first line of text, and so on. To give another example, when I'm on the Audible.com cart page, I immediately skip past the clutter by pressing x for checkbox. Audible has a checkbox for every item in the cart, so I land right away in that list. sometimes pressing f or e gets me where I need. Combine these navigation keys with placemarkers, and I just zip around familiar websites. Much, much simpler than going through the flexible web process, and by the way, a lot more flexible. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill White via Jfw Sent: Friday, December 19, 2014 3:24 PM To: Rick Miller; The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: Re: Using JAWS with Titan TV Hi, Rick. Flexible web is a feature within JAWS, beginning I believe in JAWS14 which allows customization of viewing a web page so that parts of that web page can be skipped or suppressed, so that it doesn't take so much time to get to the parts of a web page which the user actually wishes to view or to interact with.
