Thanks Gary & Alan, I'll at least have some things to tell/show my student
tomorrow. It's really bad when your JAWS student ask for help on a site and
you have even less success than the student! I've been checking it some more
and although I can now get somethings to happen on screen, it is still sluggish
and the results of mouse simulation are inconsistent. Perhaps my 800MB ram is
just inadequate for this one. It is interesting that there are such huge
discrepancies in what users were able to access on this page. I would never
have believed it possible. Gary, I'm glad to hear that WindowEyes couldn't do
any better with it.

Alan,
Although I didn't try it on this site, this method would probably work to reach
other pages. However, when you do get to another page on the site by whatever
method, you just end up with more flash objects. On the other pages, these are
buttons on which you can use the spacebar to make a selection. By the time you
find a vehicle to purchase searching on this site, you could have traveled to
Nashville from Memphis or Knoxville and visited the dealer in person.

Cher,
You asked:
"So, do you think that that one page is all there is and that you can't
link to pre-owned or new or any words on the screen? We tried
simulating mouse actions with the JAWS cursor, but that did not work
either. Sometimes we could see the content in the main frame, but
sometimes it was empty."
You may be able to use Google to reach other pages at that auto dealer's web
site. To tell Google to search for key words or phrases at that web site, you
need to use the "site:" command in the Google search field, followed by the
Internet address, and then the key word or phrase. Here's an example:
site:rivergatetoyota.com pre-owned
The above command would look for any occurrence of "pre-owned" in any of the
pages at that Internet address, and then you can click on any of the results
and go to that page, bypassing that troublesome start page.
