I don't know for certain but I question whether Patrick's statement is
correct (generally). If a mouse pointer (or tab key) moves to/over a
particular link and JS then makes additional information available via
changing display:none to display:block, in another part of the screen (for
example, the link is in the left navbar and the show/hide content is in the
center of the screen), I can't imagine that JAWS users would know that
content has changed/become "visible".
