Thanks. I did a search in Jaws help for aria. The first entry I found
was so confusing to me. It mentions drag and drop which I've never been
able to get working with any version of Jaws and so this following
instruction I'm quoting makes no sense to me.
" Command Descriptions for HTML
*Open and select ARIA drag-and-drop items* use *WINDOWS
Key+CTRL+EQUALS*. This keystroke opens the ARIA Drag and Drop dialog
box. It shows a list of droppable objects, as tagged by the author, on
the current Web page. When you select one of these objects, JAWS will
move focus to that object. If no droppable objects are available, JAWS
will announce the message, No droppable elements were found on the
page instead of opening the dialog box when you press *WINDOWS
Key+CTRL+EQUALS*."
from the glocery...
" Glossary *ARIA*
ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) is assistive technology
markup used by Web content creators to make Web pages more accessible
for screen readers.
So far this isn't working as intended for me.
From Jaws Internet Explorer help...
"Visit the Freedom Scientific Screen Reading Software Documentation
<http://www.freedomscientific.com/documentation/screen-readers.asp> Web
page, and read the JAWS Support for ARIA document to learn more about
JAWS and ARIA markup."
I didn't find anything about aria on the page linked above.
I have not found anything that combines all this information together.
I also have not found a reference to "application mode". I may have
missed it while jumping around the help system.
This is becoming a tipical waist of time for me. I often seem to get
lost using Jaws help.

Beats me, but I just got off the phone again with FS and it turns out
that this Application Mode nonsense is bound up with something called
ARIA. In the JAWS online help, locate the application-specific
information on either Internet Explorer or Firefox and you should find
out more than you ever thought you'd want to know about ARIA. I told
them pretty clearly that they need to get something into the online
help that us dumb users will be able to find and an entry about ARIA
ain't good enough. Fact is that I never heard of ARIA until today and
wouldn't have known to look it up.
