hi, i get something similar using jfw on occasions. and when i hit space or enter on the okay button that appears with that message, i discover jaws has lost focus on the webpage. if i hit tab, jaws returnes to the page and if i then hit insert f3 to find the next occurrence of the word i previously tried to search for, it works fine. for example today, tried to find the word audio on an ebay page, was told searchstring not found, although i knew it was on that page. so hit on the ok button, jfw lost focus with the page so i hit tab and jfw returned to the page, hit control home to get to top of page and then hit insert +f3, and surprise! found the word i'd been looking for. kevin - co-owner/moderator of the blind gamers discussion list. email/msn: kream@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sunil" <bosley20@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 6:14 PM Subject: [access-uk] Find command not working in IE > Could anyone give me a clue as to why the ctrl+f command works fine when > used in Office documents but when I do it on a webpage I get a message > saying "search string not found", I've made doubly sure that the words I'm > searching for appear on those webpages though...ta > > > ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- > ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] > ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: > ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > ** and in the Subject line type > ** unsubscribe > ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the > ** immediately-following link:- > ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] > ** or send a message, to > ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq > > ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
