Website error messages

Gene Warner #98899 The insert+escape only refreshes the JAWS buffer so it has no effect on the web page you are currently viewing so filled in form fields will not loose their data. F5 on the other hand reloads the currently viewed web page which usually causes any filled in form fields to be cleared.

Gene Warner #98868 You could find out if the error messages are graphics by having a sighted person try to select a few characters from one of the error messages.
