[Nfb-web] perl or jaws script code

[Wunder, Gary]

Good thoughts but the truth of it is I just don't know.

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?
