Hi Geoff. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but VO in Safari doesn't seem to support the functionality you're referring to. Vo doesn't navigate the document in the word-processor-like style you're used to in JFW. I'm a JFW user as well, and I lament this issue very much for the exact same reason you do, reading/copying code. I wrote to Apple about it and explained this style of web navigation and requested that they make it an option in VO in addition to the other methods already available. I sent the note 2 or 3 days ago, so we'll see what happens. I suggest you do the same. The address is [email protected]

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Greetings, When I read code examples from URL: http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutorials/an-absolute-beginners-guide-to-ipho ne-development via JFW and FireFox/MSIE, the lines appear correctly in Jaws's virtual viewer. When I navigate via Safari in OSX 10.6.7, however there is no easy way to copy/paste lines of code or even to easily discern where a line ends. I tried both DOM and group modes and the reader (command-shift-r), but have not yet discovered a way to read lines of code as they are written. When I use the trackpad, only the part of the line under my finger is read. My VO utility setting to announce all punctuation is apparently ignored because characters such as the equal sign are not verbalized as I move over them, but are visible to voiceOver when I use the "move right" command (right flick or vo-arrow). When I interact, only part of the line is displayed. I attempted to select all and copy to a file in the textEdit application, but the result was also unreadable. I feel as though I must be missing something because many here are using OSX exclusively to navigate the web, yet I repeatedly see examples such as the one illustrated above where tasks are difficult or impossible to perform in Safari which can be done easily in JFW. TIA for any/all suggestions other than my current solution of reading the page in JFW and manually copying lines into xCode. Best regards.
