[gui-talk] [nfbcs] Target.com and there website not working past a point for screen readers.

Or, use the quick keys of:
F= any form field, like edit  and combo boxes, radio buttons and
regular buttons, and check boxes.
E=edit box
C=combo box
X=check Box
R=radio button
B=regular button

The more you can get to know the page and where things are, the better
off you will be. I teach tech at an adult training center and have
taught many people how to use JAWS on the web. I have students that
live their lives in the various JAWS lists, like links, headings,
forms, etc., but they are limiting themselves by doing so. Since what
happens when you need to find information, such as text, that doesn't
show in such lists. I realize everyone may not be as conpetent and may
need to rely upon these lists to some degree, but always using the
links list is kind of like always taking sighted guide wherever you
go, instead of moving about on your own. What happens hwen you go
somewhere where there's no one to help guide you? I have witnessed
students who have gone to a page with 2 or 3 links, and instead of
using tab or even arrowing down the page, they imeediatley bring up
the links list in order to access those 3 links.

Good luck,
Wayne
