[gui-talk] File downloads not working with internet explorer

[Antonio Guimaraes]

Humberto,

I would like to try what you suggested and Deen's suggestion as well.

The problem is that Internet explorer now will not read pages with my 
JAWS 11. I get the perpetual message saying

"open parent document button"

The page loads, and a sighted person can see it, but not the screen reader.

I'm calling Feedem Scientific about this and will report any results here.

Antonio
