[Nfb-web] perl or jaws script code

[Steve Jacobson]

Gary,

He might have to experiment with this a little so he probably won't want to do it, but I think that the type of control could probably be accessed if using a JFW script.  
One could make sure, for example, they were on an edit field before entering data.  I suppose that one could perform a check after each "TAB" to be sure one is 
where they want to be.  If he is also designing the web page, there might be additional approaches, but I have frankly found it to be often a waste of time to try to 
automate so completely a process when the page may change.  I would definitely think one would want to build in some error checking to be sure that things 
haven't changed or that even a keystroke wasn't lost along the way.  One should probably even be able to check the field labels or other text preceeding the field to 
be sure one is positioned correctly.  Isn't there some sort if Internet Explorer function to automatically supply data for forms?
