Hi
I just did a check for new updates with my JAWS 8.2 and did not find
any updates. Is this because JAWS 9 is a beta version?
God bless,
Mark
God loves you!

> 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.

> the list view of an application.
