We have stumbled onto an interesting issue here. Text may not appear as a
link, but when you press the enter key or click it with the mouse, it works
as a link or button. I have taken several online training courses for my
previous employer where I discovered this. Text that appeared to be normal
text actually brought up tests, answered questions, calculated final scores,
etc. The first course I took on this system, I spent 5 or 6 hours figuring
this out. Once I did, at least, it was consistent, and I completed the
courses. I wonder if standard windows conventions were not used to create
these links and buttons. In addition, they used a series of overlapping
windows which made the process even more challenging. By the way, I was
using JAWS 6.10, so may be they have improved by now. Sorry for the long
read.

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.

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. I know you said "no link"
as
well in your post, but I'm hoping you were looking for a button like I do
and missed the link?

Hi Everyone
I am a brand new Window-Eyes user, so I expect some of the questions I
ask
will have been answered many times. I could go through the archives, of
course, but that might take a long time, so please forgive me.
I do some surveys online, and one I have just received is behaving rather
strangely. I don't think I can send you the link, as you have to
register
with survey providers, so the link will have my ID in it. The first page
comes up with a set of questions, with nice check boxes, but there is no
button or link at the bottom to go to the next page.
I am using IE8, XP Home SP3. Does anyone think I may be doing something
wrong? I am also new to IE8, having just installed it, and I have
disabled
tab browsing, as I didn't fancy it.
Any ideas would be welcome.
Wendy
