However in Struts there is a way of forcing focus, element.focus is the syntax and HTML should have something similar. Let me look around and I'll try to find something.

What can keep JAWS from reading all the links on the page again. That is what I mean is happening.

Do you have any idea what could be going on? I want to be the star in my new position. Actually, I have been in this division for three years, but now I am really being asked to do more than just tell them when a Section 508 problem is present. I might be asked to fix it.

I wouldn't think I would want to hear any more than just the error message.

I was told to enter something wrong. The specified error message was printed on the page but not automatically spoken. Can anyone give me a hint to tell the Java programmer? I will be coding soon, but right now I am just trying to learn about the screens and functions of the application.
