Forms Mode Auto Off

The Forms Mode Auto Off feature of JAWS 5.0 enables you to find out, the changes that occur on the Webpage, when the content gets updated. When the Forms Mode Auto Off check box is selected, JAWS will inform you about the updated content on a Web page. When the Web page content is updated, JAWS automatically exits forms mode.

The Forms Mode Auto Off check box is located under the MISC tab of the HTML options dialog box. This check box is selected by default.
