I do not think JAWS attempts to understand what the mouse over JavaScript
will do, or analyze the new additions to the page to determine what has been
added. As previously stated, JAWS reports the line where the new content
has been placed. The new content could be anything, like explanatory text,
similar to a ToolTip. It could be an entire new submenu or. However, I can
not imagine a case where that would not be a bad design.
Yeah, I just looked that up in the JAWS help, which stated, "Jump to a
specific line with J,
And return to the starting point before the jump with Shift+J."
At least this helps you move to the new content and easily get back, if
needed.

If there is any change, it will reference the change at line number xxx.
XXX being that specific line number. Then, hit J followed by the line
number it referenced to jump to that line.

The key combination, Insert + Control + NumPad Enter, should activate
whatever JavaScript code is attached to that element. The biggest
problem is figuring out what the code is supposed to do to the page. The
code may add material to the page above or below the element, it could
change the colors, or just about anything creative the designer can think
of. I think JAWS can now announce some changes to the page, similar to
frame updates.

What is the key combination again for enabling links that
say mouse over?
For instance, on a web site I'm on now the following is said
"link parts & service on mouse over:
I've tried several things to activate it but none work
