I was able to see the headings and hit the link with all my
cursors tracking one another as well. However, I had problems if
this was not the case.

Hi everyone,
I've been experimenting with VO and those JavaScript functions, and
I think I've worked out what happens, but thought it would be good
to check with the VO experts...
It seems to revolve around whether the mouse cursor follows the
keyboard cursor, which might explain why Tim and others had fairly
sporadic results.
On the first test case:
http://sf.id.au/js_tests/onmouseover/mouseover-event-link.html
If you do not have the mouse pointer following the keyboard cursor
(a setting in the navigation tab of VO utility), I could not get
the mouse over event to activate.
I tried Tab, space, VO-space, and VO-shift-space. Without the mouse
pointer actually hovering nothing happened. Which makes sense from
a technical point of view, but seems different to what others have
found?
However, if you move the pointer to the keyboard focus (VO-cmd-F5)
it activates, and you get returned to the top of the page. Then you
can read the link with the new text: "onmouseover link text -
onmouseover fired".
If you have the mouse pointer following the cursor, you can get
into quite a loop, activating the link and getting put at the top
of the page. I managed to get a page full of link text!
Does that sound about right? I made a quick variation on the test
page to make it easier to understand:
http://alastairc.ac/testing/voiceover/
mouse_over_event_on_link_test.html
It has a heading, paragraph 1, link with onmouseover, and paragraph 2.
Kind regards,
