Images
Most Web pages use images to enhance their appearance, provide information,
or assist with navigation. To see how JAWS handles images, do the following:
Open the sample page http://www.w3.org/and press CTRL+HOME to move to the
top of the page.
Press G until you move to the level one heading, "The World Wide Web
Consortium, (W3c.org)." You may not have noticed it earlier, but the level
one heading in this document is actually an image.
JAWS can't read graphic text. The text you are hearing for this image is
called alternate text. Web page authors use alternate text to describe
images.
Press G to move to the next image, which is a graphical link. The alternate
text tells you that this is:
(XML 10, To celebrate ten years of XML).
On an actual page, a person might be able to click this image to open
another page where the image is shown in larger size.
Press ENTER to activate the graphical link. Read the message that appears
and then press ALT+F4.
Press CTRL+INSERT+G to display a list of all images on the page.
(Divisions)
Web page authors often divide the content of a page into sections, or
divisions. To see how JAWS allows you to navigate divisions, do the
following:
Open the sample page www.freedomscientific.comand press CTRL+HOME to move to
the top of the page.
Press Z to move to the first division. This section contains the image that
serves as the page heading.
Press CTRL+INSERT+Z to display a list of all divisions on the page.
Use the arrow keys to select "Skip to Main Content " and press ENTER. JAWS
moves you to the section containing the choices available at this point if
you start down arrowing..
Continue using Z and SHIFT+Z to explore all the divisions on the page.
(Reading Pages with Frames)
Some Web pages use frames to display content. A frame is an area of the page
that Internet Explorer treats like a separate browser window. Each frame is
capable of displaying an independent Web page. The Freedom Scientific
Company Info page is a sample Web page that uses frames to display different
types of information. One frame contains addresses for Freedom Scientific
locations, another contains a brief history of the company, and the last
frame contains the Freedom Scientific mission statement.
In the following exercise, you will use a sample Web page to learn how to
navigate frames:
Go to the Freedom Scientific Company Info sample Web page which is attached
to this email.
When you first open the sample Web page, you are in the Company Locations
frame. Press INSERT+F9 to display a list of all the frames on this page.
Select "Corporate History" and press ENTER. JAWS moves you to the Corporate
History frame.
Use the JAWS reading commands to read all the text in this frame. Notice
that when you leave the current frame and move into the next frame, JAWS
announces the name of the previous frame and says, "Frame end." JAWS then
announces the name of the next frame.
Press M to move to the next frame on the page.
Press SHIFT+M to move back to the previous frame.
(Inline Frames)
Inline Frames are embedded directly within a Web page and display the
contents of another page. Visually, these types of frames usually look like
images or banners. Inline frames are often used by Web sites to display
advertisements. To temporarily ignore inline frames,
1. press INSERT+V,
2. select "Inline Frames," and press the SPACEBAR.
To change this option permanently, do the following:
While within the sample page:
1. Press INSERT+number 6.
2. The "Configuration Manager" will open up.
3. Press "alt + S" and the set options menu will open up.
4. From the Set Options menu, choose HTML Options and press the enter key.
5.Press CTRL+TAB until you move to the Headings and Frames tab.
6. Press ALT+N to move to and check the Ignore Inline Frames check box then
tab and press the ok button.
7. save your changes with "control + S". Close Configuration Manager, "alt
+ f4"
And you're done.
