On most pages I have seen it used, it just changes the images.

I have read the mouse-over stuff in the help system, on the web page
and on the lists, but in my experience, it is always vague, and too, it
seems that most pages are coded so this feature speaks, but pressing
control enter tells me that nothing changed.

That being said, I still leave this feature turned on, and turn it off
under personalize settings on the pages where I already know that for me
it does absolutely nothing, that way if ever it does work and I need
what it is supposed to accomplish I can use it.  If, it doesn't then I
personalize that page to turn it off.

Hi all,  Now that the new version of jaws (v5.0) has been out for a
while, I thought I'd revisit the topic of how to get answers to
questions like What is on mouse over and how do I turn it off and what
is sounds manager, voice aliases etc.

In jaws settings there is a neat little feature that explaines each and
every button.  Let me know if it does not work for you or let us know.
The way to get at this info is to press jaws key+f1.  an example is
below and while it is not deffinitive, there is more info abailable in
jaws help and in help for each jaws dialog. then, pressing jaws key+f1
yeilds: This check box tells JAWS to indicate the attribute of HTML
elements on web pages.  For example, HTML allows the author of a page to
set an OnClick event for most HTML elements to run specified code such
as JavaScript or Visual Basic Script when clicked with the left mouse
button.

The default is for this selection to be checked.

No, you cannot in this case above with the message here close it with
esc but you will close the entire message instead which would be
unfortunate because I have more to say.

Why you ask yourself am I writing on this topic and clutering up the
list. The answer is simple.  The answers to many questions asked can be
found by using the very tool to find the answers that you use to help
you write the questions.  I know time is precious and I know that we are
dealing with different levels of familiarity and other factors with jaws
and computers. I would hope though that the hard work that has bone into
providing tutorials and help systems for jaws would not be lost in the
quick question. I would also caution you that not every answer you get
from the list is accurate but jaws will never lie to you about what key
does what or almost never.
