Hi Randall,

With Jaws 10 & IE7 (with braille display), I don't notice any effect
from Al's test page at all. That is, Jaws reads the whole content of
the page, including the Nursery Rhyme & Astronomer paragraphs.
Triggering the links associated with the paragraphs makes no change.

(We have done other Javascript tests where you can use links to make
paragraphs appear & disappear. But I don't think that was Al's intent
with this one.)
