Hi Jeffrey and All:
I am using JFW 3.2 and Internet Explorer 4.01. Here is my experience.
I find that I can return to the link I was on previously only if the Jaws cursor is on
using the back command, Alt+LeftArrow.
I find that the Jaws find commandd, Control+Insert+F allows me to search for a link
such as Business, again, only if I had the Jaws cursor on.
For the Nandonet site:
1. Before going to the nandonet site, make sure the Jaws cursor is on.
2. After the page loads, use the Jaws find command, Control+Insert+F.
3. Type in no frames into the find edit field. This will position the Jaws cursor on
the no frames link.
4. Use the NumPad / to clik on this link. This brings you to the No Frames page.
5. Use the Jaws find command again, Control+Insert+F, this time search for business.
This brings the Jaws cursor to the Business link.
6. Use the NumPad / command again to clik on this link. This brings you to the
Business page.
Then, If you just want to read the business items without interacting further, I found
the Jaws Page Down, Control+PageDown works well.
The reason behind all of this is that the Jaws cursorr moves the mouse pointer along
with it. In pages that have dynamic content, there are commands in the scripting
language that can detect a "MouseOver" event, which, obviously, occur when the mouse
pointer is over some screen location. The PC cursor does not move the mouse pointer,
so these events are not activated. At least this is my best guess as to why this
happens.
I am curious if this works for other JFW 3.2 and IE 4.01 users.

I've noticed that when I am in JFW and am on a homepage when I return to
it I will go back to the first link which is the address edit combo box
and then to the tool bar, and then to whatever the first link on that page
was. Is there a way of just going back to the link that you clicked on on
the original page? I mean when you find a link on the first page that you
visit, and then go to the page that you want, but then you go back to the
original page, and it puts you right back at the top. I'm talking about
internet Explorer 4.01, I don't know about IE5 though, so it may be
different.
