Hi Andrew,
we are using JAWS 7.1 and have the scripts
installed.
It doesn't read
the name out in forms or virtual PC mode.
hitting ins+F5 shows the info in this list and unless you
can suggest a better option this will have to do. (I presume
that this option is well understood by most JAWS users of
course. Is this a correct assumption?)
Thanks,
Mike.

A bunch of questions:
What version of JAWS?
Do you have the JAWS scripts installed? (http://www.adobe.
Try hitting ins+f5 - is your info in this
list?
Do you know about forms mode and virtual PC cursor mode in
JAWS? You will get some different information out of the controls in each
mode. To enter forms mode, navigate to the textinput and hit enter - jaws
will say "Forms mode on".
Background info:
Virtual PC cursor mode is when JAWS navigates through the
off-screen model that it constructs for its own purposes. when in this
mode (this is the mode that users are in when they enter a page) JAWS listens to
the keypresses made by the user, acts on some of them and passes some on to the
browser/player (this is a bit of a simplification)
Forms mode allows user keystrokes to pass through to the
player/browser. Additional navigation of the content (e.g. reading line by
line through non-focusable objects) is not possible, and the user's interaction
model is basically identical to that of a keyboard-only user.
let me know if this helps,
AWK
