Build is >now9.0.399 > > >All, >Below are the details of the changes between build 353 and 399. Thanks >again to all the reports. We are making great progress and the details >reports being filed is making a big difference. >Regards, >Eric Damery > >HTML Composition Support > > >JAWS 9.0 introduces new support for editing in HTML composition >environments, such as online text editors, Outlook Express, and Outlook >2003 (Outlook 2007 uses Microsoft Word), editing in Forms mode (input >type=text, textarea, elements with contenteditable=TRUE etc), and >editing in Adobe Flash edit fields. > >This new support provides 100 percent accuracy when reading text; the >ability to use sound schemes to differentiate font, attribute, and >color; the ability to automatically switch languages when the language >of the text is correctly marked up; and the ability to hear information >when the text is marked up as a heading, link, list, table, and so on. >For example, when composing a new HTML message in Outlook Express or >Outlook 2003, you can now select text and format it as a heading (level >1 through 6), and JAWS will announce that this text is a heading when >reading back the composed message. When using online editors, such as >the sample at http://www.rnib.org.uk/edtest/editor.htm, if you go into >Forms mode in the editable area, you can now use the ARROW keys to enter >the table and use table navigation keystrokes to navigate the table and >hear row or column changes and row or column headings. (Note that you >will have to press the RIGHT ARROW once and then the DOWN ARROW to >navigate past the link in this editor.) You can also hear where headings >are and the text which belongs to a bulleted or auto numbered list. > > >Gmail Support Improvements > > >Screen reader users currently get a message on the Gmail page that says, >"If you are using a screen reader, you may wish to switch to basic HTML >for a better experience." While you will still receive this message when >running JAWS 9.0, it is no longer necessary to follow those instructions >as JAWS works with the standard Gmail interface, which offers many >enhancements over their basic HTML page. > >In JAWS versions prior to 9.0, it was necessary to switch Gmail to its >basic HTML interface or use the JAWS cursor to click the objects on the >page that were not standard links. These include Inbox, Sent, Compose >Mail, Trash, Create a Filter, and so on. With our new support for Gmail, >these items show up in the links list. You can also use the ARROW keys >to move to these items and either press ENTER to activate them or select >the items with the routing buttons on your braille display. > >Additionally, prior to JAWS 9.0, you had no way to see some editing >attributes in the message edit window. For example, you had no way to >see if text was a heading or even if it was a table when in Forms mode. >With our new support for Web-based rich edit controls, you can add >attributes to your messages such as bold, italic, and underline by using >standard JAWS commands in this editor. Commands for similar Web-based >editors may be different. At this time JAWS does not speak the status of >these controls when they are activated, but you can use the command to >get font information to see the attributes. It is also possible to see >formatting such as list items, both bulleted and numbered lists, heading >and level, and table information, even in Forms mode with both speech >and braille. > > >Internet Explorer New HTML Frame Update Notification > > >JAWS can now notify you when an HTML frame updates in Internet Explorer. >The new Frame Update Notification option lets you configure the way JAWS >handles HTML frame notification on various Web pages. It is located in >both the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box (INSERT+V) and the Personalized >Settings dialog box (INSERT+SHIFT+V) while in Internet Explorer. > >Press the SPACEBAR to toggle to one of the following settings for the >Frame Update Notification option: > >* Off: When off, you are not notified of any frame updates. >* Speak Frame Name: JAWS speaks the name of the most recently >updated frame. This is the default setting. >* Move To Frame: JAWS moves the cursor to the beginning of the >most recently updated frame. JAWS also remembers your cursor location >before the move; you can move back to your original location by pressing >SHIFT+M, the keystroke for Move To Prior Frame. If you are in Forms mode >when the frame updates and you have set the Frame Update Notification to >Move To Frame, JAWS will instead speak the name of the most recently >updated frame. > >Changes made using the Adjust JAWS Options tree view (INSERT+V) apply >the setting for all Web pages. While this may be appropriate for the >current Web page you are viewing, it may not apply to other Web pages. >In that case, use the Personalized Setting dialog box (INSERT+SHIFT+V) >to set the option for an individual Web page. > > >Update Enhancements Included as of Build 9.0.399 (18 October 2007) > > >Thanks to all the public beta testers who identified issues in our >initial release and reported them so well using the Beta Report form on >this page. As a result, many of the items were resolved and have been >included in this second update on October 18th. Others are still under >investigation, and we will be looking forward to posting more updates >soon. > > >JAWS > > >* Resolved the following issues when using a rich text editor for >Web development: Graphics are now recognized along with meaningful alt >text when available; the number of items in a list are now announced by >JAWS; and standard table navigation keystrokes now work correctly.

It states that shared components are >missing and that you must reinstall JAWS. >* Resolved an issue with the Typing Echo option where JAWS would >announce the first character of a deleted word when typing a new word. >* JAWS now saves all changes made to options using the Adjust JAWS >Options dialog box. >* In JAWS Keyboard Manager and Script Manager, the Punctuation >option is set to All by default so that literal characters can be used >when assigning keystrokes with punctuation characters. > > >Adobe Reader > > >* Resolved an issue in Adobe Reader where JAWS would say the same >text over and over again when navigating from one form field to the >next.

For more >information about, refer to the Gmail feature described earlier on this >page. > > >Microsoft Excel > > >* In Microsoft Excel 2007, you can now press ENTER to exit submenu >options on a split button control in the ribbon toolbar. Previously, >focus would remain on these options, and JAWS would not announce >anything in the worksheet unless you pressed ALT+TAB to move away from >and then return to the Excel worksheet. > > >Microsoft Internet Explorer > > >* A public beta tester reported that when listening to an audio >feed Web site, JAWS speaks each time a frame on the Web page refreshes. >This can now be solved with the new Frame Update Notification option ><http://hj5/websites/NewFreedom/fs_products/software_jaws90fea_beta.asp# >IEHTMLFrameUpdateNotification> as described earlier on this page. >* JAWS now recognizes multiple lines and carriage returns when >entering text into a multiple-line edit box in Microsoft Internet >Explorer. >* Changes made to the Document Presentation option in the >Personalized Settings dialog box (INSERT+SHIFT+V) are now saved when >running Internet Explorer. > > >Microsoft Office > > >* When using the RIGHT ARROW key to navigate through a hyperlink >in Microsoft Word or Outlook 2007, JAWS now correctly announces the link >and identifies that you are in a link. >* The Virtual Cursor Options group has been removed from the >Adjust JAWS Options dialog box (INSERT+V) for Word 2007 and Outlook >2007. > > >Microsoft Outlook > > >* JAWS now announces all options that appear when you select the >Office Button when reading or composing a Microsoft Outlook 2007 e-mail >while running Windows Vista. >* If you press SHIFT+UP ARROW to select multiple e-mails in an >Outlook 2007, JAWS now correctly announces the selected e-mail messages. > >* When using SHIFT+UP ARROW or SHIFT+DOWN ARROW to select multiple >e-mail messages in Microsoft Outlook Express, JAWS now reads across all >columns that are highlighted.
