Hi Stanley, I have to admit to be confused by what happened to you.
using the "h" should not have activated any link; it should just move you around the page, assuming there were any headings below you. if there were a button there, then it would not show up in the links dialog, but pressing enter or space on the button might cause it to act like a link and take you somewhere else. yes, I've seen sites which use unusual controls which change the web page as you enter data into a control; they are particularly hard to deal with, and the only thing I can think of to try is the setting for blocking all refreshes. that should keep the page from changing on you as you type, but then who knows if it's still going to be useful to you like that. Oh, I just thought about the case where a link can be a graphic with no alternate text; I suppose window eyes might be set so that it doesn't speak anything for a graphic without text, so you might check out those settings. if you have a particular troublesome page, send a link to me at my work address of: [email protected] and if things are slow I'll have a look at it. hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Stanley Littrell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, December 13, 2009 4:41 PM To: Chip Orange Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Brand New User Chip, I know that you know a great deal about this stuff. My next question is, when is a link a link? I say this because, I've run into an instance where the insert tab list links doesn't see what I think should be a link whereas if I use the h command what I thought was a link is activated. In other words, the list of links command doesn't bring up the item whereas the headings command does. Many listers might recal that I had a great deal of "fun" with the reference usa database. Like the original poster, I learned that I had to use the browse mode to solve part of the problem. In my case, the reference usa database appears to be a dynamic web page that refreshes after you input part of your search. For example, after I search for Medford, Oregon to gather search results, the results actually start out listing businesses in Alaska. While I hate to keep pestering Aaron, I think that I may have to set time out to do so. My investigation finds that the site that I'm talking about isn't merely a Window Eyes issue. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chip Orange" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 13, 2009 1:26 PM Subject: RE: Brand New User > the only idea I have is that on some forms, I don't know how they do > this, but what you click on is a link not a button.
