I meant in HTML....currently they're all "together" in that they're positioned in the same section. Is there anything other than a <div> that I should be using to designate them as a group? >3.

Well, if it was done in the title of a link, JAWS will read that title when it becomes active - right? That's the only user to whom notification of a new window would be quite important, in my opinion. >Chaals (who hasn't had time to do a review yet :( I appreciate you taking the time to at least answer my questions.
