Hi Brian,
When I went to the site and did a search, I typed in Bill Evans in one of the
music categories, then I clicked on one of the albums. At the bottom of the
page it said:
Product prices and availability are accurate as of 08/07/2009 01:56 EDT and are
subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on
amazon.com
at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of all products.
Did that mean July 8 or August 7?
Thanks.
Jim

Thanks Lynn and Everett for the info. I believe I found a work around for
this last night. This being, to clear the target zone using innerHTML=""
prior to running the injection code, which appears to force JAWS to
recognize the new section content when it appears in the same area.
You can see the result at
http://gutterstar.net/amazon.php
Which uses jQuery to inject all search requests into the proper section,
then automatically routs focus to make navigation easier for screen reader
users. This too uses jQuery to route focus, which appears to work very
nicely. This is still a work in progress though, so it doesn't work yet in
Firefox, and doesn't support Window Eyes either. I'll be tinkering with this
later to hopefully overcome these remaining issues. I tested it using JAWS10
and IE7.
The problem I had was trying to maintain backwards compatibility with
earlier JAWS versions, as well as varying browsers, which is why I needed a
more standard JavaScript oriented solution.

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

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
