Hi all,

Thanks to everyone for their ideas so far.

I'm hoping for a little more advice, this time about the DocumentLoadedEvent,
so I can get the column reading sorted out.

Artur's suggestion about moving by element worked out quite well, with my test
script issueing the same number of, MoveToElementOfSameType, calls as the
number of elements on the table line, followed by SayWord, which effectively
reads up or down a column, depending on the s_prior or s_next parameter.

Now I need to be able to set the right number of columns for each table when it
displays. The name that displays in the page title, that is the page title
that reads with Insert+T, is consistent, so I can set up a look up list, based
on the page title, which auto announces when the page changes.

Here is where DocumentLoadedEvent comes in. I have spent a lot of time back
tracking through the code for this event, but can not find where the page
title is read, so I can intercept the string and identify the page, and thus
which table is being displayed.

Can anyone please point me to where JAWS gets and announces the page title when
a new page displays in I E.

With much appreciation,
Paul from Australia.

Hi,

JAWS can move by spans (y key) and by div elements (z key). Maybe you can jump
fixed amount of spans or divs? For example you can make simple script to jump 4
div elements forfard or backward. (if there is 4 colums)

Thank you Travis and Stefan,

I changed the layout from simple to screen, but the problem remained. I
was surprised that there appeared to be no noticeable difference in the way the
virtual cursor behaved within the so called table.

Unfortunately, braile is not an option for me.

Again unfortunately, neither are your 2 second options, as I am simply not up
to the task...

Thank you for your interest and suggestions.

I'll plow through the JAWS FSDN, and perhaps get lucky & spot something that
triggers an inspiration. Its happened before...

Regards,
Paul from Australia
