hi, the new ie8 beta seems accessible with jaws but i have problem using 
ie8. i cannot access its menus. when i pressed alt key to open the menu, it 
only says file and when i wanted to move down jaws reads nothing. i can 
access other menus pressing right arrow, file edit view favorites etc but 
when i wanted to use down or up arrow to activate that menu nothing happens. 
i press insert+numpad8 or insert+up arrow to read line jaws only reads the 
first item on the menu and it doesnt move down. did anybody experienced 
this?
