Hi Arthur and Jim, I want to amend a statement I made in my previous post about being able to route your mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor and using Contol-click to bring up the context menu if my previous instructions with the key advice of first interacting on the link don't work for you. If those instructions don't work, then routing your mouse cursor won't take you to the correct location to Control-click. I just did some testing with VO-F5-F5 to check where the mouse cursor is located in pixels on the screen before and after interacting with the podcast link. If you don't interact with the link before you route your mouse cursor to your VO cursor, you're centered on the position the link would have if it occupied the full width of the web page -- not the actual x center of the link. That's why nothing works if you don't first interact; the HTML coding on the BCT web page is sending your screen reader to the wrong location. I can go through every podcast link on the BCT web page, rou te my mouse cursor to my VO cursor, and check the mouse cursor position with VO-F5-F5, and they'll all have the same x positions in the middle of the browser screen. I'll add that this is nowhere near the x pixel values for the actual link, that you get if you first interact with the link before trying to bring up a context menu, force download with Option-Return, or check the position of the mouse cursor after routing mouse cursor to VoiceOver cursor.
Just wanted to provide information that this really is bad coding on BCT home page as the source of your problems. Just keep doing extra interacting before you try the regular commands. HTH.

This is the Mac equivalent of a "right mouse > click" to bring up the contextual menu. > <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
