Hello all,

I am having a difficulty with JAWS 7.1 and IE7.  Specifically, I cannot read

the information I enter into online forms.  I can read what I entered in 
edit fields if I turn on forms mode and read character by character.  If I 
turn off Forms Mode I only hear the edit prompt but no text inside.  If I 
select an item from a dropdown box, I only hear the first available choice 
but not what I selected, even though the screen is showing my selected 
choice.  Does this make sense?  I hope someone has some ideas on how to slap

JAWS around into reading properly, I would be much appreciative.  At first I

thought it was only a quirk of the Law School Admissions Council web site, 
but I have now seen this be a problem across several web sites.  Thanks for 
your assistance.

Joe Orozco
