About the Grease Monkey business, I am definitely interested in that, if a
little too behind the curve to understand it right away.
But, I'll also pass it on to my friend who might.

You actually can, by having JAWS access the DOM document object and then
using the Document.write() method to insert a <script> element. That said,
if you're looking to build javascript code to compliment JAWS on a webpage
you do not have access to the back end of (i.e. is not your website), then
GreaseMonkey really is the way to go.
To that point, if people are interested in discussing the GreaseMonkey
injected ARIA as a JAWS interface tool, I have some interesting finds I've
come across in my primary project which I'd be glad to start sharing, it's
just a really idiosyncratic and niche application of the tech that I'm not
really sure many people will be interested in.

No, it has to be coded on the webpage. There is no way to inject javascript
commands into a webpage through jaws.

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.
