> Glen, I've played with caret browsing in IE and FF, as I thought it might be the way to go, but it doesn't seem to work with JAWS. Or perhaps I'm doing something wrong

JAWS allows for users to select text on the page and read it back through it's own virtual cursor and speech synthesizer. Is there something in particular that the separate page selection with the keyboard would provide that isn't already provided by the JAWS select and speak commands without having to use caret browsing?
