(Working With Lists On The Web)
Web pages often contain bulleted (unordered) and numbered (ordered) lists
that provide information. The procedures on this page are examples of lists.
To see how JAWS navigates lists, do the following:
1. Open the web site: http://www.w3.org/
2. Then press CTRL+HOME to move to the top of the page.
3. Press L to move to the first list on the page. This is a bulleted list
that contains 73items.
4. Press I to read the first item on the list. You can continue using either
I or the DOWN ARROW key to read through the rest of the list. To move back
through the list, use SHIFT+I or the UP ARROW key.
Notes:Lists may be arranged differently depending on their purpose. Web page
authors may interrupt a list with a paragraph, quote, image, or similar
element. If this is the case, the next list on the page usually begins where
the previous list ended.
For example, if a procedure is interrupted by an image, the next list on the
page might begin with step four.
Tip: You can display all lists on the page by pressing CTRL+INSERT+L. You
can then select a list and press ENTER to move to it.
(Headings)
Web page authors use headings to divide a document into sections.
*. Level 1 is the highest level of heading.
*. Level 2 headings are subsections of level 1 headings.
*. Level 3 headings are subsections of level 2 headings and so on.
(Navigation Quick Keys for Headings)
To see how JAWS allows you to navigate headings, do the following:
1. Open the page: http://www.w3.org/ and press CTRL+HOME to move to the top
of the page.
2. Press H to move to and read the first heading on the page. JAWS says,
"The World Wide Web Consortium."
This is the only level one heading on the page. Level one headings often
indicate the topic or subject of the page.
3. Press H until you move to a level three heading,
"Six OWL 2 Drafts Published."
Press P to read the text below this heading.
4. Press 3 to move to the next level three heading in this section. You can
move through headings of a certain level in the current section by pressing
a number between 1 and 6 , I refer of course to the numbers just above the
letters on your keyboard.
5. Continue to press 3 until you hear JAWS say, "No next heading at level
three in this section, this may take about 8 or 9 presses of the number 3
key as there are quite a lot of level 3 heading styles on this page."
This indicates that you have come to the last level three heading in the
section
"Past NewsSearchSkip to Contents."
6. Press H a few more times. You eventually reach the bottom of the page.
JAWS says,
"No more headings"
And may or may not wrap you back up to the top of the page.
Tip: Don't forget that you can add SHIFT to navigation quick keys to move
backward through the page. For example, press SHIFT+H to move to the
previous heading, or press SHIFT+3 to move to the previous level three
heading.
When you reach the top of the page by using the SHIFT key in combination
with navigation quick keys to move backwards through the page, JAWS
announces, "Wrapping to bottom," and starts over again from the bottom of
the document.
You can also move to the first heading on the page of any level by pressing
ALT+CTRL+INSERT+1 through 6. Additionally, you can press ALT+INSERT+HOME to
move to the first heading on the page, and press ALT+INSERT+END to move to
the last heading on the page.
(The JAWS Heading List)
JAWS also has a list of headings that allows you to navigate by headings on
a Web page. You can sort this list by tab order or alphabetically. You can
also view only headings of a specified level. To explore the options in this
dialog box, do the following:
Open the page: http://www.w3.org/ and press CTRL+HOME to move to the top
of the page.
Press INSERT+F6 to display a list of headings on this page. Press DOWN ARROW
to move through the list and read the headings. If you select a heading and
press ENTER, the list closes and you move directly to that heading in the
document.
Press the TAB key to explore the Heading List dialog box in more detail.
Each option is described below:
*. Move To Heading button - Use this button to move to the location of the
currently selected heading.
*. Cancel button - Closes the list of headings without changing your
location on the page.
*. Sort Headings radio buttons - Select one of these radio buttons to
specify whether you want to sort the headings in this list alphabetically or
by tab order.
*. Display radio buttons - Select one of these radio buttons to include only
headings of the specified level in the list.
Make sure you are back in the actual list of headings. Press ALT+1 on the
numbers row and read the current line by pressing INSERT+UP ARROW. You
should hear that there is only one item now in the list, a level one
heading.
Press ALT+2 on the numbers row and read the current line by pressing
INSERT+UP ARROW. You should hear that there are now 16 items displayed in
the list, all level two headings. In the list of headings, you can filter
out all headings except the specific level you are looking for by pressing
ALT and any number from 1 to 6. To view all headings again, press ALT+L .
Press ESC for now to close the list of headings.
Tip: Use the JAWS list of headings whenever you first go to a Web page to
get an overview of how the page is structured.
