Does anybody have extensions to scripts for Internet Explorer that are merged 
with the factory JAWS 10 scripts?  I discovered that scripts that worked in 
JAWS 10 stopped working just by installing the JAWS 11 beta?  If I uninstalled 
JAWS 11 including shared components and then running a repair with the JAWS 10 
installer, the scripts work again!  I also discovered that if I ran the jsx 
install of the package that did the merge with Internet Explorer also fixed the 
problem!  So I figure that the second JAWS 11 beta changed something in the 
shared components that require all previous versions of "Internet Explorer.jss" 
to be recompiled!  Does anybody else have this situation?  Have you seen this 
problem?
In particular, the function that failed was navigating the DOM to find the 
first link which was a graphic.  The lines that failed are pasted below.  I did 
not take the time to determine which one of these lines failed or if it effects 
all DOM related calls.

let oDoc = ieGetCurrentDocument ()

Let sURL = oDoc.url ; Creates the URL of the current page

; JAWS will not allow referencing more than one level

; Let sName = oDoc.links(0).alt

Let oLinks = oDoc.links

Let oGoLink = oLinks(0)

Let oImage = oGoLink.firstChild()

Let sName = oImage.alt

SayMessage (OT_DEBUG, "link Alt Text of link = " + sName)

; Looking for "Continue" graphic link and activate it!

oGoLink.focus()

oGoLink.click()
