Greetings, What's the site? Perhaps we've seen it before - either way our support folks would be able to help here). When a "hover and click" doesn't work on an menu element, the reason why is typically very idiosyncratic to the page - meaning the site is doing something unusual, so it would be next to impossible for me to give you a generalization here.
I've solved things like this in many different ways including using a Windows click. Any chance this is Navinet? Regards, Thom Thom C.

I have successfully created 3 or 4 scripts now, but there is one payer site that is causing some issues... I have been through the tutorials and printed off the desk aids for web scripting and employed some of the techniques to access certain elements within the webpage, most of the time it works, but a few others have been near impossible. I have tried to web click the element, didn't work. I have tried the 1st Button and Next Element to what I thought was the element that I wanted, didn't work. Lastly, I tried clicking on an element that I know that when I click on it, it will be selected and then Next Element until I got to the one that I wanted, didn't work. For whatever reason anytime this element is selected, it doesn't allow BWS to select it and bounces it to another, unwanted element. Has anyone experienced this and have another technique for circumventing this issue. I have been trying to work on ODS, but I have this roadblock to get past. Thanks for any assistance. Garrett S.
