Hi,
thanks for directions to that site, but  I wasn't looking for it, nor a way 
to get in touch with this person you mention.  Please reread my message.  I 
was asking for examples of sites at which Jaws can't read the text in the 
normal way and you have to employ the Jaws cursor, and then have to figure 
out how to copy and paste text from the page.

By the way, if this site you mention is a disability-related site, which is 
what its name makes it sound like, how come it isn't designed in a way 
that's Jaws accessible in the usual sense?

Again, I wasn't looking for anything.  Just asking about why this issue 
arose.

thanks.

Hello YardBird, although your real name that surely is not.

I believe the web site you're looking for is:
www.empowermentzone.com

This site has a wealth of goodies, many the product of a very creative and
quality-minded computer programmer. If you drop him a line at his e-mail
address, I'm sure he will reply.

Jerry
