Mouse Over Effects
HTML allows the author of a page to set an OnMouseOver attribute for most
HTML elements to run specified code such as JavaScript or Visual Basic
Script when the mouse pointer is moved over the HTML element. Often this is
used to momentarily display text, graphics, or links. JAWS now recognizes
the OnMouseOver attribute, and if it is set to display text or links as part
of the page, JAWS provides access to that information. Press
INSERT+CTRL+ENTER to simulate moving the mouse pointer over the element at
the Virtual Cursor location. If the mouse over event caused some part of the
page to change, JAWS announces the line where the change occurred. To review
the new content, you can press J to perform the Jump To Line command. Enter
the number of the line that changed and press ENTER to move directly to that
line. You can press SHIFT+J at any time to return to your previous location
on the page.
By default, JAWS announces when an HTML element has a mouse over effect. If
you want JAWS to ignore the OnMouseOver attribute, do the following:
1. Press INSERT+F2, select "Configuration Manager," and press ENTER.
2. From the Set Options menu, choose Speech and Sounds Manager.
3. In the Select Scheme list, choose "Classic."
4. Press ALT+E to edit this scheme.
5. Press CTRL+TAB until you move to the HTML tab, and then use the arrow
keys to select "onmouseover."
6. Press ALT+I to select the Ignore radio button.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] "on mouse over" on a web page
Hi listers
Can one activate an "on mouse over" item on a web page and
if so, how, or is that only some sort of a heading?
On my bank's site there is such an item for beneficiaries
which I suspect one can activate to get options to add,
change etc. but I cannot activate it.
Regards
Fanus
