Re: [JAWS-Users] Multi-line rich text edit boxes.
another thing that would probably work would be to route jaws to pc cursor, and then hit the jaws cursor key twice fast for the invisible cursor, this way you can switch cursors, read the area where your at and see what box your in. the trouble is a ridge text box is not a regular html item but a microsoft item (your probably running into a site made with asp) and movement is by tabbing, but as you said that skips over the header. I think the invisible cursor is your best route. hth in the future, elf .

Re: [JAWS-Users] Multi-line rich text edit boxes.
Luckily, unloading JAWS each time I need to fill in an edit box is not necessary. I can tab out or reverse tab out of this series of boxes then arrow my way back down. Very clugy but I'd rather find a better solution. I've just tried messing around with custom labels, but when I label one of them, it labels all four boxes with the same label, which is not terribly useful. -- Blue skies.

Hello, I am attempting to use what is essentially a SharePoint form. I have no problem going through most of the form, using radio buttons, check boxes, and simple edit boxes. However, there are certain boxes that are multi-line edit boxes. When I tab into them, no label is announced, but I hear "rich text edit box". I can type into the box no problem, but I can't seem to close the edit box. Hitting the plus key just says PC cursor, instead of closing the edit box and reverting to the virtual cursor. The only way to get out of it is to tab, but in one section of this form, that just tabs me to the next rich text edit box, and since there is no label associated with the edit box, I don't know what box I am in. If I can close the edit box, go back to the virtual cursor, I can arrow down the screen, hearing the heading that states the purpose of the next edit box, then press e, and vwa la I am in the next box. So, is there some magic key that I am missing that closes a multi-line edit box? -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Senior Oracle Database Administrator Carnegie Mellon University.
