Sounds like a role=application is being set on the page. JAWS 12
automatically goes into this mode.
Perhaps some Javascript you're using is setting this, such as if you have a
toolkit and using a dialog creating widget. Not sure which toolkits now do
this, but that's where I'd look. Try viewing the source code after its
generated (after the JavaScript has been processed).

Subject: [jawsscripts] JAWS - Help with "application mode"
I have a web application that I am trying to make more accessible and I am
using JAWS 11 (and a demo version of 12) to test it. I have two issues that
I am trying to understand.
1. Jaws seems to enter "application mode" when reading my first page - but
not consistently. When it does so, keystrokes like INS+F7 to list links does
not work and the navigation seems to be different from a standards web page.
What triggers application mode? Is it the existence of javascript, or an
iframe?
2. Sometimes when in application mode and when tabbing through INPUT fields,
JAWS will start reading the entire page again. Sometimes it will tab into a
field a read just that input field. (<input type=text title="Enter
name".../>)
This application uses javascript to dynamically construct the HTML. I do not
specifically set anything (like an ARIA role) to enter this mode in JAWS.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
