only when you focus on the link will you hear the sound. If you usually
know what you are looking for on a page anyway, on mose over announcements
should not be much trouble for you then anyway. Troy. T provide the entire
picture. Annoyances are a part of life, sometimes, we can correct them and
sometimes we cannot. This is a situatin where we can not only correct them
but do it in a way that is safe.

Subject: Re: mouse over links
So if I were to set it up to give me a sound when a mouseover link is found
would it give me the sound when I load a page with mouseover links on it or
would it only give me the sound when I arrow past such a link? Because if
it only works when arrowing that won't work with me anyway because I
usually know what info I'm looking for on any particular page and so I skip
past the links by hitting the letter n.
