Hi Susie; Below is an explanation of " on mouse over " that was posted by a fellow list member awhile back.
From: Donald Marang It means that there is an element on the web page labeled, "Reply all", that will perform an action when the user hovers the mouse over that element. JAWS does not attempt to evaluate the action the designer assigned to be performed. This is usually just some animation or effects, written in JavaScript, that are useless to us. Other times it will pop up with additional text, like a definition, like a Tool Tip balloon in an application. And to make things confusing for us, sometimes the JavaScript code will go to another page. To have this action performed, JAWS can let you access this information by pressing Control + Insert + Enter. I am not sure how this is different from forcing the mouse (JAWS cursor) over the element by Routing the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor (perhaps it is the virtual cursor at this point?) with Insert + numPad Minus (-). I am glad that JAWS now allows me to know that there is some code here that may provide hidden information. Note that this action is different than what happens when the user clicks on that element, or in our case pressing Enter. On some elements, you might have to try all possible keystrokes to get it to do what you want. Keep in mind web designers like to get creative and put in extra, non-standard stuff.
