Seen by jaws curser only?

I digress a bit from the topic here, but I've occasionally noticed that the
Jaws cursor will not read the text on certain Web pages where the Virtual
cursor will.  Also, the reverse has sometimes been the case.  I'm sure that
it's my lack of understanding of the specific nature of the Jaws and Virtual
cursors that has me in the dark.  At any rate, this thread has been helpful
in answering one of my own personal reflections which was on how to copy
text with the Jaws cursor which I previously thought was impossible.  Again,
why the Jaws cursor reads nothing but a blank screen on certain pages where
the virtual cursor reads fine is a total mystery to me.  The same for the
reverse.

I missed the beginning of this thread.  Could someone give me an example of 
the type of Web site where only the Jaws cursor can find text on the page? 
This isn't am experience I've run into in the course of my own daily use of 
the Web.  Thanks.

Hello folks.

With regard to selecting text seen only by the Jaws cursor, two years or so
ago, Jamal Mazrui wrote some excellent scripts that do this very thing. They
are extraordinarily useful, I having integrated them in my default scripts
shortly after they appeared. If I recall correctly, Jamal's web site is
called either TheEmpowermentZone or just EmpowermentZone.com. Perhaps, if
Jamal is aboard, he will be good enough to help you with this. I would
prefer that he handle this since the creativeness and scripts belong
entirely to him, a very heads-up programmer.

Good luck.

Jerry
