I was wondering if anyone out there had any similar experiences and/or can offer any suggestions on how I can resolve the issue. Does what I describe seem like a bug with JAWS or an issue with the way we are coding? We are using JavaScript to set focus to an anchor on the same page. It seems that focus gets set to the target anchor some of the time. Other times focus gets set either at the top of the page or at the location near source link. It seems to be random when focus get set correctly. From reading different sources setting focus using JavaScript should work with JAWS. I have also tried JAWS 7.10 and have encountered a similar problem, - not the same thing, but it still does not work. I was wondering if anyone knows of any bugs with JAWS and setting focus to a named anchor using JavaScript? P.S., focus get set correctly without JAWS, i.e., using the mouse or the keyboard (tabbing and pressing enter on the source link).
