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.
