<grin> Yeah, claims to, in some cases, is about right. Good way to put
it.
I am left to assume that there is some technical reason why this isn't
possible. But, it seems to be a very helpful mechanism. When I have my
wife look at a page that is causing me confusion, I have trouble learning
what she is referring to. And, it would be so bnice if she could just
direct my virtual cursor, and then let me explore the surroundings.
It just usually doesn't work that way. but, it needs to. Before I,
attempt, to ding FS about it again, I wanted to make sure there wasn't
something I was missing.

There's a RouteVirtualToMouse function that claims to work in some
documents.

Bob,
RoutePCToJaws. Well, it's actualy hard to tell. I am using IE. The jaws
cursor is not able to see most of the text on the page, most of the time.
So, the behavior is a bit difficult to verify.
And, when I do find bits of text, I can not direct the virtual cursor to
that location. Sometimes, it gets in the general area, sometimes not.
What I am wanting, is for a sighted person to be able to direct my virtual
cursor, using the mouse, so they can show me things.
And, it seems like we should be able to get closer than we do.
It seems like you would need a little extra info in the side, that could be
created when the virtual document is created, based on the DOM. That extra
info would let you go backward through the process.
So, you could pick a DOM element, with the mouse, and force the virtual
cursor to now address that same element and, ideally, the same word in the
text the element contains.
Anyway, I'm not having much luck with this so far.
And, it does seem like a very useful thing.

Does RoutePCToJaws not do this when in a virtual document?

Is this currently possible? I want to have someone position the physical

it?
If not, we need a way to do this.
