A lot of this stuff just doesn't work correctly, and no screen reader manufacturer can keep up with all of the bad coding that people perpetrate on web pages, and the assumptions that the web designers make.
But listen carefully. Java and JavaScript are two entirely different technologies. On web pages, JavaScript is the most common and the most problematic, because while you have the browser frozen in order to read its contents, the JavaScript program assumes that the browser is free to change things as you move focus from one area to another, even when you don't click on any links or check any boxes. Java is another whole ball of wax, which is currently not supported by Window-Eyes unless its interface has been coded by means of the Standard Widget Toolkit, which is not very commonly used.
