If I understand this correctly, you have a link, for example on the left
side, and when the mouse rolls over the link, a graphic changes, say perhaps
on the right side. The graphic provides additional information which you
want all users to have access to.

I don't have much experience with JAWS but I don't think JAWS users will get
the additional information because of the separation between the link and
the graphic. If this is the case, I don't think you should use it or at
least not depend on it - what if a user disabled JavaScript, what are they
missing? Critical information or just a little icing on the cake?
