I'm not hearing blank lines but there are two variables here. I'm using
JAWS 2021 and you have 2018. Your example references classes in the first
three divs but I don't have those classes. (The classes aren't used on the
paragraph elements so it shouldn't matter, but you never know.)

Just curious: have you tried this with the latest release of JAWS 2022?

I find I need to keep updated with my operating system, browser, and
assistive technologies' at all times to keep up to date.

Digital technologies change consistently,
David

With JAWS I'm hearing blank between each paragraph and need an extra down
arrow (2 per para) - NVDA correctly doesn't say blank and moves para to para
as I'd expect.

It's been a long time since I've used JAWS so is this just an annoying
glitch that's JAWS specific (JAWS 18) or is there something in this code
thatNVDA is ignoring but JAWS gets annoying with.

Thanks David and Glen. I've not tried the latest as we don't have it here in the company ( ☹ ) but I'll give that a go. I was wondering about the classes being a factor too.



Will download a demo and give it a shot.

With JAWS I'm hearing blank between each paragraph and need an extra down arrow (2 per para) - NVDA correctly doesn't say blank and moves para to para as I'd expect.



It's been a long time since I've used JAWS so is this just an annoying glitch that's JAWS specific (JAWS 18) or is there something in this code thatNVDA is ignoring but JAWS gets annoying with.
