I have an 80 cell Braille display. I have been asked to improve how a web page is looking. Some of the labels are wrapping. Naturally, they don't do that in Braille. I tried using the JAWS cursor and I am not thinking that is accurate. Do any of you have some ideas? I am using JAWS 14.

There are three ways the display will show text. Do you know are you in
structured mode speech box mode or I can never remember what the third one
is called. I don't think it's your app but the way jaws sends information
to the display in effect here

"Line Mode" is the third choice for displaying braille info in Jaws
(Braille display display?). It's my favorite, being the least
cluttered of all. But I'm decidedly in the minority.

I don't know what effect changing these modes will have on form
fields. I've never encountered that. Then again I have a 40-cell
display, so lots of things wrap...
