Hi Bryan,
What version of Jaws are you using? If you've got Jaws 10 you could try
turning the div into an ARIA live region, something like this:
<div id="targetDiv" aria-live="assertive">
Then when the file is loaded, the DOM should be updated and Jaws should
read the content of the div.
Be warned: ARIA is a very new technology and isn't implemented properly
in browsers or screenreaders. I've found the best combo to be Jaws 10
and Firefox 3.X.
Cheers, Lynn

Subject: Anyone here familiar with jQuery?
I have a bit of a problem. I'm using the following method to load
content from an external file into a div on the page.
http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/load#urldatacallback
<!-- Code -->
<div id="targetDiv">Text to be replaced.</div> <script
type="text/javascript"> // Requires jQuery.js ref in header.
$("#targetDiv").load("SampleFile.html");
</script>
<!-- End Code -->
However, when I do this, JAWS won't recognize the content change, so
it's necessary to press insert+escape just to see the new content.
I've tried changing the class value on a page element after the change
occurs, and this doesn't force JAWS to update the DOM either.
Does anyone know how to get JAWS to automatically recognize the new
content after using this method?
Thanks,
Bryan
