Hi,

I've seen this in a few applications that are written as a single page, but
scripted to show a given number of "page views", like a multi-part form, but
without having to run a server session. The focus landing at the bottom of
the page was an issue for all keyboard users though, not just those using
SR. The Visual focus was fine, it was just the keyboard focus that was a
problem.

It was cured by using JS to position the focus at the top of each new "page
view".

I have noticed something like this with one of our applications.
It uses version 3 of the Web Experience toolkit. one of the options in the
WET navigation menus accesses application help information.

When you activate the help menu option, from the menu, a new help page is
presented. Jaws will begin reading information on the page, but will stop
reading the page content at some point, the focus will then be at the very
end of the page. it is then necessary to move up to find the place where
Jaws stopped reading in order to hear the rest of the content. I think in
this case this happens due to something within the WET Menus.
