I'm wondering if a JAWS repair is in order in this case. Sounds like JAWS is not treating the form field correctly. Clearly, it should work different than what you are describing here.

Cc: Tom Behler Subject: RE: Can't Enter Text Into Forms Mode Field I thought I had tried the space bar before, but just to be sure, I tried it again. Still no luck. Again, I get the higher click that indicates I'm in forms mode, but no text gets entered when I type. Hitting F5 to refresh the screen doesn't help either.

Cc: Tom Behler Subject: Can't Enter Text Into Forms Mode Field Hello, everyone. I'm still having issues typing characters into the edit box when on the internet with my home Windows 7 PC. I can arrow down or tab until I hear the forms mode sound, but when I type, nothing gets entered into the edit box. I had someone sighted check, and nothing gets entered onto the screen when I do the typing in forms mode, even though the sound indicates I'm in forms mode. I find the issue both in Internet Explorer and in Firefox. And, I have tried performing searches on several different web sites where info needs to be entered into the search box. Is there a Jaws or other setting I should check to troubleshoot the issue? For the record, I'm using Jaws 14 on this particular computer. Thank you!
