[JAWS-Users] Unintended consequences from this? RE: Found solution to balloon hot key
Hello. I always thought choosing 'alt text' for graphics verbocity is the optimum way for Jaws to correctly identify each graphic. How does JFW's ability to identify graphics in a way I know what the graphic label/tag /whatever is if I change it to announce 'on mouseover'?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Unintended consequences from this? RE: Found solution to balloon hot key
If you set it in the verbocity settings with INS V, it is not permanant, provided you know there is a balloon you want/need to see. I went to a site that has an alt tag on a graphic and it still read it. Will that be the case for all web sites? I don't know, you'd think it would. Brad At 11:39 AM 8/18/2010, you wrote: Hello.

[JAWS-Users] accessibility of I-Tunes store
Hi folks. Just bought an I-Phone but found the I-tunes store screens inaccessible for setting up an account to download apps for my new phone. Using JAWS11 latest, I was unable to route JAWS to the things on the screen that needed to be activated, and often the JAWS cursor did not reliably route to the PC cursor's location. What work-around are others using? Cher For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
