Easy.

Use F6 or alt-D to display the address.

Then, use your normal clipboard commands:

control-A to highlight the entire address
control-C to copy to the clipboard
control-V to paste it into the document where you want to show the address.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Problem highlighting and copying web addresses


Hello, everyone.

 

This quiry relates to the recent thread on reading web addresses, but I
think my issue is different than what has been encountered thus far.

 

Basically, my problem is this:

 

When I am on a particular web site, I can initially access the URL web
address using either alt D or f6, but as soon as I start working with my
arrow keys to make sure I have focus on the address, or to actually copy the
address onto my clipboard, the address literally disappears.

 

At first, I thought this was a Jaws issue, in that the address is still on
the screen and simply is not being recognized by Jaws.  However, I had  my
sighted wife check, and she said that the address disappears from the screen
as well whenever I start working with my arrow keys.

 

I can gget a listing of other web addresses on the screen, but the one I
originally wanted seems to be gone.

 

Has anyone encountered this issue, and if so, how did you work around it?

 

I have found the problem with both Internet Explorer and Firefox.

 

I'm using Jaws 16 with Windows 7, IE 9, and Firefox 38  on this particular
computer.
