Brad: I can try turning off the virtual cursor as a work-around, And will let you know what happens.
Right now, I'm kind of leary to use the computer that's giving me the issues, since it has no anti-virus software on it. Regarding the issue of whether someone sighted can enter texxt into the edit fields when in Internet Explorer or Firefox, the answer is yes. When Jaws is disabled, this is not a problem for a sighted user.

Cc: Brad Martin Subject: Re: Continuing Frustration with entering text into edit fields when in forms mode using IE and Firefox on home Windows 7 PC Tom, If this works, it would be a workaround rather than a solution. I sometimes have to do this in particular websites using Firefox, particular those that use something called "application mode." When you get to the edit field, what happens if you press Insert Z to turn off the virtual cursors. Then when you're done, you'll have to use Insert Z again to reactivate the virtual cursor. I would also like to know if a sighted person can enter text into the same form fields if JAWS is not running. Wondering if maybe it's just an issue entering data completely?
