A new merge technique has been introduced in JAWS Script Exchange 1.4,
released today at
http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/jsxsetup.exe
In the new HomerKit 1.1, available at
http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/kitsetup.exe
the technique is used to add enhancements to the Internet Explorer scripts
supplied with JAWS. In this example, the file HomerIE.jss contains the
enhancements. Its top line is as follows:
;Merge "BrowseUI"
This tells JSX to merge HomerIE.jss into the script set that is associated
with the base name BrowsUI (the name including extension is BrowseUI.dll).
JSX looks up the association in ConfigNames.ini, located in either the All
Users or personal script folder. With JAWS 8 and above, the main file of
the IE script set is called "Internet Explorer.jss." With lower JAWS
versions, it is called "Internet Explorer 5-6.jss."
JSX adds the following line at the bottom of the existing file:
Use "HomerIE.jsb"
The enhanced script set is recompiled. JSX also merges settings from
HomerIE.jkm into the existing IE .jkm file.
Anyone prefering a manual installation can use the zip archive at
http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/kitsetup.zip
Manual instructions and other documentation for the Homer IE enhancements
are contained in a section of Editor.htm. Below is a summary of the
keyboard interface, which supplements, rather than replaces, JAWS quick
navigation keys in IE.
Presently, in a project of this complexity, some rough edges undoubtedly
remain. More Testing with IE7, for example, is definately needed. I hope
to continue strengthening the code, and welcome help from other scripters
in making this happen.
Cheers,
Jamal
