if jaws announces that a page has changed as a result of a mouse over 
trigger, it will give you a line number.  You jump to that line number to 
see if it is something you need.  It takes a bit of getting used to and I 
wish we didn't have to do it because it is really not an ellegant way to 
work with the web, but it can work and it can at times be the only way you 
will be able to get at something.  Don't forget, that even though they seem 
rare, the word clickable will show up from time to time seemingly at random 
and this lets you know that if you press the space bar, you'll fire an 
event.  enter works here too.  The point is that some words are clickable 
but they are not recognizable as buttons or links etc.  Turning off attrib 
indication will rob you of this functionality.
