Thanks for the quick response.
I thought I saved your message regarding chaining Internet Explorer
scripts for different sites. It seems that I just saved the follow on,
in which the detailed description was no longer part of the message. I
will need to search the archives for the original sent on 11 October. I
probably should modularize in that way. My concern is even this method,
I assume, needs to be added to the factory Internet Explorer scripts. I
am just looking for a method to do this in a way which does not cause
problems when updated.
Are you saying Internet Explorer scripts in JAWS 14 would be applied in
addition to the factory (shared) scripts rather than overriding them?
Is there a environment variable set to the shared folder for the running
version of JAWS? If so, I would think it would be easy to have a user
script that overrides the factory script, which has a USE statement to
the environment variable\<factory-script>. I assume that JAWS functions
to return this folder can not be used within a USE statement.
Sorry for rambling... I need to do a little research and some
experimenting.
