Hi, Thanks for everyone's responses. Several folks had asked me to provide an example of a onMouseover or roll over event. See http://www.freedomscientific.com/training/Surfs-Up/MouseOver.htm On the left side of the page are images of JAWS, Magic and OpenBook. If the user rolls the mouse over these items, descriptions appear. The user can activate these same descriptions with JAWS. I haven't found a way to do this with VoiceOver.
Help here would be appreciated. Thanks.
