Since installing Jaws 6, Web pages have become more confusing for me than 
before, because Jaws now announces many active links on Web pages in ways I 
don't understand the meaning of.

Can anyone explain what "on mouse over" means, and why that phrase now 
appears for many links?  Also, does anyone know what it means when Jaws 
describes a line or link as clickable, sometimes alone or sometimes in 
combination with "on mouse over?"

Incidentally, I have tried pressing Enter on lines announced as clickable, 
but most often, nothing happens.  I think sometimes "clickable" appears 
alone on a line that doesn't announce itself as an active link, but 
sometimes it does.  If this all sounds confused, it's because I'm confused. 
What is this new terminology and marking about?

Thanks,
Daniel
