Thanks much for your follow-up.
It's also silent for me in Firefox & IE (except that there is a dialog box that comes up when you turn caret browsing on, which has a checkbox for never showing it again). I think this feature, from all appearances, is targeted at low-vision users rather than blind users. Used in combination with magnification it could be incredibly helpful. The version in Chrome gives some interesting animation options for the caret as well based on where it's located and whether it's jumped a long distance. I will be curious to see how it functions when JAWS is reading when it's turned on. Your idea about audible feedback at the toggle point is still a very good one. It would make sense for there to be an "on tone" at the very least, but preferably an "off tone" too. Brian
