Hi Everyone!
for one of my college papers i have to build a website and we have to use the software Dreamweaver, does anyone actually know if it works with JAWS?
this has been cross posted to cram session :-D
Well, yes and no.
If you know pure html it works ok and helps with a few things, such as allowing you to instantly view your webpage.
It also has a nice feature where you can build a document in Word, with headings, lists, and other formatting, but there is an option to clean up Word html (which tends to be incredibly messy), and make it look fairly standard.
What it does not do, is interacting with the editor with Jaws, NVDa or other screen reader.
When you create a heading or a list or a link or something in DreamWeaver, Jaws does not announce that special formatting for you. You just see the text, and you don't know if it is a link or a heading or a frame or someting else unless you go from design view mode to code view, and read the underlying html of it.
This is true for almost all code editors, so if you do not know much or even anything about html, you might be best of creating the document in Word and then export it to DreamWeaver,to clean up the mess.
I is a dirty word
Lol, sorry, that was meant as a public quick note from a conersation unrelated to this topic.
