Hi Alastair,
You're findings seem valid with respect to VO and javaScript. I did
find that if you did not have the mouse following the VO cursor, it
did not fire at all. totally logical in my mind. I did also note
that sometimes it would not fire right away but if you pressed VO keys

Hi A C,
I don't know of a way to detect when something is a heading, but the
text does show up which is why I mentioned that I did not see it.
Thee issue of links which take you somewhere else on the same page
not being followed by VO is something we are familiar with. I hope

Hi David,
There is just one heading at the top of the page, incidentally, how do
you detect heading in Safari?
The other thing I haven't been able to find yet is how to follow within
page links. I can activate a within page link (and the s
Hi A C,
I'm not seeing the headings. You are correct though with relation to
whether the cursors are tethered. I'd also add that if you have
group items in web pages checked, when you first enter the group on
your page with shift-vokeys-down arrow, the link does nt immediately
fire. y
Hi everyone,
I've been experimenting with VO and those JavaScript functions, and I
think I've worked out what happens, but thought it would be good to
check with the VO experts...
It seems to revolve around whether the mouse cursor follows the keyboard
cursor, which might explain why Tim and
Thanks Tim, that's perfect!
It seems to come down to whether the mouse focus is following the
keyboard focus?
I remember trying certain keyboard commands to separate the mouse
cursor, but I'll have to look up what it means again, it didn't seem to
make much difference at the time.

Hi Alastair,
You asked for someone to test the following:
8 Test cases:
1: http://sf.id.au/js_tests/onmouseover/mouseover-event-link.html
VO focus remains on the link but the mouse jumps to the other
location. VO does not tell you so. I only knew because I knew what
to look for.

Alastair,
On the first 4 links, I was able to get the Mouseover fired message
multiple times. I was also able to get the added text messages on
the last four items. This was done using "Grouped" items and Shift-
Ctrl-Opt-Spacebar. I might have done a better job if I had read your

Each one is pretty much the same. There is one line title explaining the
test, and then a link (or bit of text) saying "onmouseover text" or
something similar.

It's not so much what will happen as it is how do wee know something
is supposed to be happen. Vo will give us an indication that
something has happened but it won't tell us that something should
happen or where it should happen from. Jaws and window eyes report
the element attribs.

Hi everyone,
I have a request for help, which hopefully will be an interesting web
development experiment.
Gez Lemon recently did a very good article on screen reader support for
JavaScript, specifically the on-mouseover event:
