See if the JAWS virtual window helps by pressing JAWS key+alt+w. Assuming it does, you'll be able to navigate with the arrow keys and, better still, copy the entire text to paste into another document. You need to press escape to get out of this window.

I'm having trouble navigating popup windows in IE. As an example, go to facebook.com, turn off the virtual PC cursor with INSERT+Z, then hit the question mark key. This opens a popup window containing a list of keyboard shortcuts for interacting with facebook, and immediately starts reading them. Does anyone know how to navigate this popup window? If I stop the reading with the CONTROL key, then up and down arrow to read a line at a time, all I hear JAWS say is "BLANK". If I turn the virtual PC cursor back on and jump to a heading with H, it takes me to a heading on the facebook page, not in the popup window. With my crap residual vision, I can see that there is a X close button in the upper right corner of the window, but there is no way to navigate to it that I can see. The facebook popup is just one example. I have encountered this type of popup on multiple web pages, and I've never been able to successfully use my JAWS reading keys to read it, and have never been able to accessibly navigate to the close button to turn the window off. Any pointers or tips? Thanks!! -Paul _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list Jfw@... http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com
