If I understand the JAWS documentation correctly, any javascript modification (be it DOM based, old-school document.writes, switching styles, etc) should be safe as long as they're bound to a user interaction (e.g. onfocus/onblur, as opposed to things like scripts activated via a timer, or onload)

Sorry for the - maybe a tad patronising - rant about DOM javascript ;)
