Sorry I haven't been keeping up with this thread, but have you tried
pressing the enter key well holding down the shift key. I find that this key
combination helps me quite often.

You might have to press the right arrow a couple of times to make sure you
are on the link.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Cannot activate some links in I.E. 8
Hi All,
I have been finding a number of websites in which I am unable to activate
the links on that page. When I hear JAWS announce that I am on a link, I
press the Enter key. In more and more situations, nothing happens. I
have
tried using the applications key and have found that Open is not a choice
on
the menu until I have attempted at least once to use the Enter key to
activate the link without success. So the sequence looks like this:
. Navigate to the desired link
. Activate the application menu and find that open is not on the
menu.
. Press Escape to close the applications menu.
. Ensure that I am really on the link.
. Press the Enter key to try and activate the link.
. If nothing happens, activate the applications key.
. Select Open, Open in new tab or Open in new window, and then
press
the Enter key.
. The link is now activated and the new page is opened.
I am using I.E. 8, Office 2010, and JAWS 12 on a Windows7 64bit computer.
I've even tried JAWS 11. I have not gotten around to trying JAWS 13.
Does anyone have any ideas to why this is happening? Is it a JAWS issue,
an
I.E. issue or a Security setting? Is there a way to change it?
Thanks,
Annette
