Hi, I would like to know if the problems posed by using a browser only with a braille display for output, has been considered earlier in the work of this group? As I see it the basic requirement for using a UA with braille only is that you have a cursor that you can move around in the document. In this way it becomes possible to clip text from the page that you display to the clipboard when In a Windows invironment using the standard cut copy and paste keyboard shortcuts. As most browsers are today it seems as if you only get a focus that you can move among links and form controls, but not a cursor that you can move around the rest of the contents in the browser. With a "real" cursor (I have no better technical term for this) you will also be able to move around in the document a lot easier than it is today. This assumes that the dependent technology you are using can move the cursor when you pan through a document. I do not know if this ability is a standard for different dependent technology, but I know that JFW uses this technique. Regards Claus ThøgersenReceived on Wednesday, 23 September 1998 15:00:18 UTC
