I use a scheduling program which works great, except when I'm creating
the calendar. I find that if I enter regular forms mode on a regular
text box (not in Application mode), then tab to the application in
question, it works pretty well. You still have to get out of Forms mode
to activate things like Bold or Underline though.

Thanks Brad. I to am resigned for now having to go in and out of
application mode and the virtual cursor mode and forms mode to get
jobs done when I get to pages with this feature. But I'm sure not
comfortable with all the messing around it takes to fill out simple
forms. Apple's page for genius bar appointments is one example where
I was not able to accomplish the task of changing my appointment.
I'll try to remember to shift tab first next time and see if that helps.

I very much agree. I've never even really understood what it is,
except that JAWS says I'm in Application mode, and then nothing works
as expected. Here is what I've been able to determine from my limited
experience. This is absolutely nothing official, but it has made
managing "application mode" a little less painful.
Sometimes when I try to read the text in an edit field when I'm in
application mode, nothing works right and I can't hear anything.
Often shift tabbing away from the field, then tabbing back to it will
cause it to act normally.
You see this often with text editors for composing text with rich
formatting. Using it often means highlighting (in the usual way with
shift and arrow keys or control and arrow keys), then exiting forms
mode and finding the formatting button you want (bold, underline,
insert hyperlink, bulleted list, numbered list, etc.)
I think it sometimes works a little better in Internet Explorer,
although I've stumbled through it enough in Firefox that I can do it
there and that's what I do 95% of the time.
Probably not much help, but if you have specific questions, I'll do
my best to answer. I used to absolutely dread hearing the words,
"Application mode on", but I've reached a point of semi-comfortable
resignation now that I've figured out how to use it, even if it's
with some trial and error.

Can I get some pointers to documentation for working with
application mode and Jaws on web pages?
A search for application mode in the Jaws manual didn't find
anything helpful.
I'm not having much luck using application mode where I find it more
often these days. Standard keyboard navigation just does not
work.Perhaps there are tricks I don't know about.
