I'm using the same setup as you; and, it took me a few minutes to get that Greyhound site to give me the needed information. But, seeing as I want to go from Indianapolis Indiana to London Kentucky to visit my family for Christmas, I figured now was just as good as any time to try and look at the schedules.
So, I first went to the main Greyhound site, and I was told the page had 120 links. Since I only wanted to know about the one way trip, the only things I filled in on that page were the leaving from and going to and and departing on date, leaving everything else at their defaults. And, note that, in the leaving from and going to fields, I put Indianapolis, in and London, ky, meaning I put the city and then a comma and then a space and then the state abbreviation. And, of course I had to press enter to turn browse mode off to enter this information. I then tabbed to the departing on and just edited it to my appropriate date. I then pressed control shift A to turn browse mode back on, and I was still told the page had 120 links, then I did the control shift F to bring up the mouse search and put the word search in the search box and pressed enter. This brought me to the search schedules link where I just pressed enter. And, after all the page reloading and all, I was still told the page had the 120 links. I could then do the same control shift F and search for the word detail and press enter and it would bring me to the schedule details link where I could then press enter and I could then view the details for that particular schedule, or I could do the search again or just arrow down to find the next schedule details link and press enter on it to view that schedule. ----- Original Message ----- From: Evan Reese <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, Dec 16, 2010 19:47:48 Subject: Re: Links That Do Nothing When Clicked (Continued) > > > > > Hi David, I did get the Amazon links to work by using the insert tab and > activate link choice.
