For instance, many sites contain Google ad frames. These can be troublesome for JAWS users as they disrupt the reading order of surrounding content. Flexible Web enables you to take more control of Web pages by allowing you to quickly find the content you are looking for, as well as hide content that interrupts the reading experience. You can hide sections of content, such as Google ad frames or other types of unnecessary content, for a smoother reading experience. In addition, you could have JAWS begin reading at a level one heading, or ARIA main region, as these may contain the most interesting content. To use Flexible Web, open a Web page you want to customize in Internet Explorer or Firefox. Then, move the Virtual PC Cursor to the page element you want to hide, or from where you want to start reading when the page first loads. Activate the Flexible Web wizard by pressing the layered keystroke INSERT+SPACEBAR, X. Alternatively, press INSERT+F2 to open the Run JAWS Manager dialog box, then choose Flexible Web. Through several easy-to-follow steps, The Flexible Web wizard that opens provides you with two options: hide, or start reading at the selected element. The wizard then guides you through the process of creating a temporary customization by giving you various choices about the selected element and how you want to hide it or from where exactly to start reading. Once the customization has been made, it is immediately applied to the page. For instance, if you choose to hide all frames containing advertisements, you will not see any advertisements when navigating the page after making this temporary customization. If you are not happy with how a customization is working, you can open the Flexible Web wizard to undo the last customization you made. When you return to the page, you can choose a different element or the same one, then reactivate the Flexible Web wizard to retry the customization again perhaps with different criteria. For example, in the case of hiding those advertisement frames mentioned earlier, you probably want to hide all of them, not just the first one on the page. The wizard will provide you with choices about whether to hide just the first one or all of them. You can create as many customizations for a page as you want. Once you have created one or more customizations, you can save them as a rule, which is applied every time you load the particular page or site. To indicate that a rule has been applied to a page, JAWS plays a sound after the page loads. Rules can be applied to the current Web page, entire Web site, or globally for all Web sites. Otherwise, customizations are only temporary and are lost as soon as you navigate away from the current Web page or close the browser. If you have made temporary customizations and you attempt to navigate to another page or close the browser, a dialog box opens asking if you want to save your customizations as a rule. Creating Customizations and Rules Following is an example of a situation where you might use Flexible Web to improve the reading experience on a Web page. You frequently visit a news Web site where you would like to have JAWS start reading at the beginning of the article, which is the first level one heading on the page. Between the heading and the beginning of the text is an annoying frame called Social containing links to various social Web sites that you do not want to hear or read. You would first create two temporary customizations that start reading at the first level 1 heading and hide all frames named Social.

Re: [JAWS-Users] i e question
Rules are Applied Where applicable, other JAWS features such as PlaceMarkers, Custom Page Summary, and Personalized Settings will continue to be in effect for a page where Flexible Web rules have been applied to it. This depends on whether a setting applied as a Flexible Web rule conflicts with a setting that is not a Flexible Web rule. For example, if you have created a PlaceMarker for a page that is located on an element that has now been hidden because a Flexible Web rule has been applied to that page, the PlaceMarker will not be found when you attempt to move to it. For pages that automatically update information frequently, any Flexible Web rules applied will still be in effect as the page updates. Additionally, if a page automatically sets focus to a control, such as an edit field for searching, this takes precedence over any rules that start reading at a specific element. When selecting and copying text from a Web page where Flexible Web rules have been applied, if Select and Copy Full Content Using Onscreen Highlight is selected in Quick Settings, all content is copied, including any hidden content that was included in the selection. If you do not want to include any hidden content when selecting, choose the Select and Copy from Virtual Cursor option. Turning Off Flexible Web Flexible Web is on by default. To turn it off so rules are not applied when pages load, do the following: Press INSERT+F2, and select Settings Center. Press CTRL+SHIFT+D to load the JAWS default settings. In the Search edit box, type "Flexible Web" without the quotes. Press DOWN ARROW to move to Flexible Web in the filtered search results in the tree view. Next, press SPACEBAR to enable or disable Flexible Web. -Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of simon Sent: 29. juli 2014 10:49 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] i e question Hi I have a few questions, how do I stop I e from loading the page I was on previously? and where do I find this flexible web?
