Hi,
This web site acts in a strange way, but you can easily navigate with a tab
and a few down arrows. The biggest problem was getting stuck in the edit
field, but some experimenting solved this. I am using jaws 10 and hit enter
on the desktop dictionary.com icon. This immediately put me into forms
mode. I entered a word and tabbed to the search button. I then arrowed
down 4 or 5 times, and I then hit the h for heading. This took me to the
definitions etc. I could easily navigate around with the arrow keys. This
site certainly has much information.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Using Dictionary.com
Hi Listers:
I've been using a lot of dictionary.com recently. Though it seems
compatible at first, it has a couple of problems. The one that bothers me
most is how to find the dictionary entreys.
I enter the word and then submit it. If I want the thesaurus entry I
hit that. The thesaurus entries are easier to find than the dictionary
ones.
My question is: Is there a key combination to find the dictionary
entries? I have to go through the entire listing line by line to find it,
and sometimes even that doesn't work. So, I call on sighted help, if it's
around. Any suggestions? Thanks. Barbara
