Only the HTML file made it through I think. Your archive didn't come
through with your second email either I'm afraid. Could you post your
example live somewhere perhaps?

at least JAWS 12 to have a chance of it working with FF 5. That could
possibly be why you might be having problems with the application role.

I have redone my tests using JAWS 12 and, although there are some subtle
changes, the actual problem of JAWS not entering application mode persists.

I have created a sample page to facilitate the discussion. The HTML, JS and
CSS files are attached.
