The following url http://lcb.uoregon.edu locks up both jaws 4.5 and 5.1.
The symptoms are that the page starts to read normally, but then jaws
silences and says a word every ten seconds or so. At that point,
control of the pc is lost. Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you, James

I've had similar issues (by the sound of it, anyway...don't have Jaws
here at home to test) with the work site I developed www.salford.ac.uk
On my site, it turned out to be some issue with the stylesheet. Despite
numerous attempts, I couldn't isolate what it was exactly that caused
the problem, and it really looked like it was an erratic behaviour on
the part of IE and how it interfaces with Jaws...or something. A
colleague of mine contacted Freedom Scientific, but we never received
any clear answer.

I just spoke to the freedom Scientific technical support regarding this
matter and also gave them the link http://lcb.uoregon.eduu They clamed
that the issue is with IE. I don't know how far that answer is accurate.
But I am having that same problem on my computer as well, where it starts
pausing after half the page. I tested the same web site with JAWS 4.51 and
5.0 and had no success.
Regards.

Interestingly, I don't have any problems using Window-Eyes 4.5 on this
page. Of course, this probably is not much comfort if you are using
JAWS...
I get failure consistently with JAWS 5.0 right around the picture with
the alt-text "Students build leadership through rope climbing course",
which also identifies this image as a mouse over. I am wondering if the
function hideMenus - which is called on line 290 - may be causing this
issue (as it appears to be referenced right when JAWS seems to lock up).
Sorry - don't have any other ideas.
Take care,
Sean
