Here is one very basic question I can't seem to get past, being one who is
interested in all this, but who doesn't seem to have quite enough time to
really get focused on it long enough to actually learn and retain much.
Where does one go to get documentation on the DOM. I learn tidbits from you
guys, but dont' know where you are going to get the information.
I know, microsoft. But, every time I go there, and search For Document
Object Model, I get the impression that there are lots of different object
models for different contexts, and I dont' know which one I am really
looking for. I very quickly get lost, and totally overwhelmed by the
absolute jungle I find at Microsoft.
Can anybody mercifully help narrow my search?

Whatever DOM calls modify things should work I think. Examples include
.write from a Document object and .setAttribute from any element type.
You can assign .outerHTML but I think that can do odd things in some
cases.

I've had two projects this year in which I found it advantageous to
use JAWS' DOM access in Internet Explorer to inject ARIA attributes
into a displayed web page in order to make JAWS render it more
correctly in its virtual view. Focus can be set similarly - in fact,
because JAWS can directly access the DOM, it can do most anything
Javascript can do, up to and including writing Javascript to the page
and running it in realtime. Of course, it is always best when the page
itself comes up accessible by itself.

Hi,
Do you then get JAWS to somehow insert this into the DOM?

I just thought of this. If you want to bring control to a specific form
element, the best thing to do is use javascript.
One an OnClick element of a link you can call a function that says
Document.formName.formelementName.focus()
This would be the fastest way to bring focus to an element whether it be a
form or a link etc. But you need to name the name and id of that control so
javascript sees it. For example:
Function clickIt(){
Document.divName.ElementName.Focus()
}
HTML code
<a href="" OnClick="javascript:ClickIt()">
<div name="objectName" id="objectName">
Some element here
</div>
Or if you are using multiple forms
Document.formName.FieldName.Focus()
<form name="myForm" id="myForm" action=.
<input name=FieldName" id="fieldname" type="text">
Just a thought at 5 am after thinking about it.
