Does that mean there is no help for this?

Yes. In fact, it probably is.
In JAWS 7.1 Freedom Scientific introduced a new method for rendering
the contents of Web Pages and displaying them in the Virtual Buffer
called the FSDOM (Freedom Scientific Document Object Model). Under
JAWS 7.1 this option was selectable using the "Use Legacy HTML
Support" checkbox in the HTML Options dialog of configuration
manager, and I think most people chose to keep that box checked as
HTML support was much more reliable.
Freedom Scientific made some changes to the FSDOM in Version 8.0,
the most notable being putting the address bar and the other tool
bars back into the tab order, and they removed the "Use Legacy HTML
Support" option.
Whilst the Internet support using FSDOM 10.14 (under JAWS 8.0) is
certainly a lot better than that of FSDOM 10.12 (under JAWS 7.1),
the Legacy HTML Support was much better in certain areas. For one
thing, the Internet is much more responsive when using Legacy
support. For another, which applies in your situation, the FSDOM
struggles with certain web pages whilst the Legacy support does
not. Having said that I've not personally seen any examples but it
is obvious to me that they exist given the number of bug reports
that have been sent to lists such as these.
I hope that answers your question,
