Hello all,
A quick question. In Firefox/NVDA, I was getting the page title read
correctly. Once I switched to using JQuery Mobile and added some data-role
tags to my different sections, NVDA suddenly started saying the page title
was "navigation". Yet, if I view the source, my normal title element is in
place. Is there a known problem that I need to address or work around? At
the risk of going off topic, is there a way to view the current source,
rather than the original, so I can see what was injected into the page DOM?

I'm sure there are some simpler ways of viewing the generated source, but I use the Firefox web developer toolbar which allows you to do just this via a context menu, or an amended tools menu in Firefox:

The F12 Developer tools in IE also allow you to do this. Chrome and Opera have their corresponding sets, too.

Best of all, these tools let you edit the generated DOM and test the result, so when you dive in to your code you will know what you need to make it do (or stop doing).

Although its spellcheck often saves me, all goofs in sent messages are its fault.
