Subject: [BW] Jaws10 Versus Jaws11 with mouse over and other links


Hi all,

I want to submit an issue to FS support, but I need your help. Can
someone who has both jaws 10 and jaws 11 send me a page where
mouse over links behave differently with jaws 11?

I did a reinstall of my OS, upgraded to win 7, 64-bit, and only have
jaws 11 installed right now, so I can't give them an example of
a site that worked, and now doesn't, except for a few websites which are
behind SSL and are things like my bank page, *smile*.

Specifically, the problem is that whereas jaws 10 would announce
something as a link, even tell you it's a mouse over perhaps,
jaws11 seems to not even announce that given text as a link. So it just
reads it as if it's regular text, even though if you hit
enter on it, it still activates it, but obviously you'd have to know
it's a link in the first place.

If you want an example of what I'm talking about, in a non-website form,
then use the windows update application in win 7 with jaws
11, things like "check for updates" do not read as links, even though
they are.

I'm hoping someone else has noticed this problem?

Take care,
Sina
