Virtual HTML Feature List
In the first web browsing lesson, we went over opening lists of headings, | links, and form controls. However, JAWS allows users to open lists of a variety of data elements, such as: tables, images, lists, regions, and more. While JAWS provides us with individual keyboard shortcuts for each of these lists, you might instead choose to use the Virtual HTML Feature List. This list will give you a list of lists we can use with web documents. | ||
Virtual HTML Feature List | Insert + F3 | ||
Note that the Virtual HTML Feature List includes all the lists at all times regardless if that list will have any items for the web page you are on. For example, if the webpage you are one has no tables, you will still find the tables list on the virtual HTML feature list. However, when you activate the tables option, you’ll get a message that there are no tables on the page. |
