It works fine for me. I tested it using JAWS15 in IE 8 9 and 10 and FF, and it's not having any problems. I also refreshed the page, reloaded the url, and again that works too.

Which version of JAWS, browser, and OS are you seeing this on?

Thanks for the feedback. The trigger function now includes
preventDefault(). Unfortunately it didn't solve Lucy's problem though.
A new version is attached in case anyone with Jaws wants to try to
duplicate what she's experiencing.
