Oh the application method while the links list is slick. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Baracco, Andrew W Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2013 2:11 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] some links won't open even when hitting shift enter
JAWS seems to have a focus issue with older browsers. Here at work, we are still using IE 7, and often when JAWS reads a control and you try to activate it, you are really activating something altogether different.

Jaws reports that I am on a link but will not activate it. As a work around I bring up the links list, it usually presents me with the link I am trying to activate and I choose move to link. This way I can just press enter on the link or use the application key to open the page in a new window. You can give it a try to see if that might be the problem or you might find out it might be something else.

I may not have my HTML or some other setting set right, but even trying to do a shift enter, which works sometimes because some links open in a new browser window, doesn't help. This is Jaws 14 so not sure if it's a Jaws 14 thing or something in my configuration settings. I also get the message on some pages that tell me to upgrade I.E. but I refuse to use 9 because a lot of people have had trouble navigating or downloading using 9. Are some links configured in some way to where Jaws can't line up with the link and open? I can switch to another version to see if the problem persists but wanted to ask first if anyone has seen kind of a frequent thing with websites where links just won't open. And it's not the whole site, just to be clear. It's just certain links on the sites, which leads me to believe there's something about the link itself that makes it impossible to open. Do I have to put it back to mouse-over setting in HTML? I have it not to speak that but should it be put back, as some links have something to do with something mouse-over related? Which I don't really know the meaning of but just puzzled about this whole thing. Hope someone can help.
