That worked the first and not the second time. Don't you just love it when computers are inconsistent? FROWN George A.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Fields on web site not activating
I have also recently seen this behavior in edit fields on certain websites, and I have not yet updated to the most recent version of JAWS 18. An example of this was when trying to enter my user id and password on the United Healthcare website. I will need to try NVDA the next time I encounter this and see if I have any better luck than with JAWS.
