[gui-talk] IE7

Wed Jun 6 15:21:37 CDT 2007

Hi,

I don't know what a "sound event" means, if it's not what I said I was 
already familiar with. I mean, when I load a Web page on which there's an 
announcement of RSS feed availability, Jaws says "RSS feeds available." 
Isn't that a "sound event?" Do I have to worry about turning it off and on? 
It's perfectly practical. I guess I don't know why you mention this. Maybe 
you're talking about some sort of noise, instead?

as for the second thing you say about how Control D will cause two different 
dialogues to display, depending whether you're simply on a Web page (my Alt 
A example is related to that, traditionally, and still works for me) or on 
an RSS page, did you call it? Hold on, let me arrow down to remind myself 
what that term is...ah, okay. An RSS feed link. I guess I don't understand 
this nomenclature, that's all. You mean, when a page announces that an RSS 
feed is available,that indicates that there is an actual RSS _link_ on the 
page which, if you can find it (how? with normal Jaws navigation, or by 
pressing Alt J, only?) you can either click on it (to what purpose?) or, 
with it selected, press Control D and get an add RSS feed dialogue instead 
of an Add Favorite dialogue? Is that it? Is the control D reliant on 
context?

And I'm using Jaws 8, so although I don't know what you meant by how it 
produces an XML stylesheet or what happens when it does, that part is okay 
for me not to get, I guess.

I think I'd be best off just studying up on how RSS works with IE7,I suppose 
by looking at that topic in the IE7 Help files. that would probably explain 
to me these things that I think are second nature to you, and which I know 
too little about to ask the right questions.

Thanks.

Another thing is that RSS feeds when they are found have a sound event that 
can be controlled by the Sound and Audio control panel.  When you hear that 
sound, you can press ALT+J to drop down the list of discovered feeds.

CTRL+D is the shortcut that adds a web page to the favorites, or a RSS page 
to the list of feeds.

If for example you are viewing my blog page at 
http://blogs.msdn.com/chuckop/, pressing CTRL+D will add that URL to the 
favorites list.

If however you are viewing my RSS feed linked from the above page at 
http://blogs.msdn.com/chuckop/rss.xml, then pressing CTRL+D will add the 
feed to the feeds list.

When IE7 encounters a raw RSS feed, it uses a XML style sheet to format in a 
easy-to-read format, that is what Kelly meant by saying "one page view of 
the feed".

Now, the bigger question of knowing when there is a RSS feed available for a 
web page.  IE7 looks inside the page for a <link> tag that has the 
"type=application/rss+xml" attribute and another attributes that specify the 
URL of the feed.

When IE7 finds a RSS feed for a page, the RSS icon on the toolbar goes from 
being disabled (grayed out) to enabled (bright orange color).  Pressing 
ALT+J will drop down a menu of the discovered feeds, there will be at least 
one, and sometimes several.  Selecting a item in this menu and pressing 
enter will load the RSS page and the nicely formatted view of the page 
discussed above.

Hope this helps,

P.s.

Kelly, I just pressed Control D on a Los angeles times section index page
that announced RSS feeds were availalable as it opened. And what I heard
from Jaws had nothing to do with tabs. I found myself in an "add to
Favorites" dialogue, instead (which I would have done if I'd wanted to by
pressing alt a, the old-fashioned way). Did I miss something? Or did
something misbehave, even though I did the right thing?
Thanks.

Hello,

If you are on the one page view of the feed, ctrl+d will add it to your
subscriptions.  To bring up a list of feeds on the page, press alt+j, then
select one from the menu and you'll be on the one page view for the feed.
This is where you'd use ctrl+d.
