Hi to all.

Jeff and others,
While it is quite true that you can turn off JAWS reading of in-line frames, it should be noted that many websites are taking advantage of those frames for more than just advertisements. I have seen several radio station websites, for example, where the "Listen Live" link is placed inside an in-line frame. I also know that you cannot download the McCafee antivirus software without turning in-line frames on. Therefore, if you shut off JAWS' ability to read these frames, you may be shutting off more than just the commercials.
