Hi Brent,
Two questions: What happens when you are in the window, press Insert+Z to turn 
the virtual cursor off, and try to arrow? Does the window scroll? Second, when 
you say that JAWS doesn't recognize the scroll icon, can you get the JAWS 
cursor there and label that icon?

Thanks.

Jim

Subject: [program-l] Cognos JAWS Problem

In Cognos there is a properties window and the virtual PC cursor will scroll 
through the whole window but the mouse cursor will only go to the choices that 
are displaying at the time.  If I have a sighted person scroll through the 
properties window then I can get the mouse cursor to the other options.  I need 
to do this so I can use a left mouse button click to access these options.  
When I try routing the mouse cursor to the PC cursor it will not work unless 
those options are in the display window.  Is there a way to force the mouse 
cursor to the other options?  There is a scroll bar but JAWS does not recognize 
it.  This is a web application.
I appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thank You
