Hmm, i am using the Safari public beta and i have noticed the non refreshing behaviour, trouble is, if i leave the link i'm hovering over, the menu of links that drop down when you hover over the links will disappear. I know this should be workable, but i can't work this out so any tips wo

Hi Krister, Can't say I've had much trouble with Groups mode and dynamic HTML. I am using Safari 4 public beta. If you're running Safari 3, it might be worth checking out Safari 4. Occasionally, content doesn't refresh immediately, but moving around for a second or cycling VO off and on al

Justin, I even mention outSpoken in my message you are replying too, so I have no clue what you're getting at. :) *Most* are coming from Windows, because for 5 years or so, there was no screen reader for OS X. I think that's a very fair statement. :) Josh de Lioncourt …my other mail

Hi Josh, i totally agree with what you say, and it's mostly because of that that i like groups mode more than dom. I must ask a question however, have you had the problem with dynamic html that i have and how do you work around it? Is it the link chooser or what's the best bet? /Krister

Josh, very well stated and I do find groups mode to be my preference, but I can see where some would like the dom mode. I want an experience as close to what my sighted counterparts get, so I can navigate more easily to what they are wanting to show me. I found groups mode to allow this mor

I don't think this is necessarily true. Most VoiceOver Mac users these days came from Windows, because for several years there was no screen reader for Mac OS X. I used Mac with outSpoken in the 90's, but had been a Windows user for a decade when I made the leap to OS X. I dislike DOM mode

I think most people who come from Windows screen readers, including myself, use DOM navigation because it's basically the same one that you would use with JFW or Window Eyes. I do like Group navigation, except sometimes it just didn't work for me on certain websites so I definitely switche

The question may now depend on what your doing and personal preference. Personally I use dom mode simply because I never got in to using group mode at all. Perhaps for some pages group mode is more appropriate however with some of the dhtml at least in current version of vo, dom may provide

I am now more of a DOM mode user, but not because I prefer it, but rather because I tolerate it. Groups mode does not work well with the new onslaught of IM clients with dynamic html message viewers like adium, and since I use those sorts of programs a lot, it is not worth the trouble of
