fixes in the new version (plus for Excel, since that has been a topic
recently):
* From:
*
http://www.freedomscientific.com/downloads/jaws/JAWS13-previous-enhancements.asp

* Improved how JAWS works in ARIA menus in Internet Explorer and Firefox.
* In Internet Explorer, If an ARIA live region is inside of an
iframe, JAWS will now read the live region as expected.
* Improved JAWS reading when navigating in ARIA treeviews in Firefox 11.
* JAWS now correctly recognizes the datatable=0 tag attribute in Firefox.

* Resolved an issue with the GetColumnText built--in script
function not working as expected in Microsoft Excel.

* Resolved a customer reported issue where Excel 2010 on Windows
XP would unexpectedly close when attempting to navigate in the Names
Manager dialog box.
