No idea if it's a browser problem or MSAA >problem or Jaws problem (all relating to IE5/5.5, however). Hmm, I have done the highly complex testing, & I appear to be completely wrong. To wit: is converted to a simple space (by Jaws 3.7 & IE5.5) whether it is part of ahyperlinked text, the ALT of an image, or the ALT of a hyperlinked image. But I *know* I have encountered 's and other &#-type symbols being sent direct to the voice/braille display. SO we still need to find the conditions that cause this to happen. Patrick
