Here is two work-arounds, that I end up using quite often. They don't always work, but it is worth a try, and please report back, if it does not, since others might have further ideas.
Locate yourself on the link, that does not work. Then hit the APP key, and scroll down till you hit the menu choice of Open. It should be the first or second choice on your list. Hit ENTER. This forces the link to open, in a somehow different way than just hitting ENTER, or whatever the reason is why it works. If the approach above did not take you anything further, try this one. Still, locate yourself at the troublesome link. On your Numpad, hit the INSERT-PLUS combination, to bring the mouse there. Use the INSERT-NUMPAD-6, and INSERT-NUMPAD-4, to move your mouse till it gets at the right word, then hit the NUMPAD-SLASH key, to left-click on the link. I agree, this happens more and more often; and a real solution won't be around, till next WE version. But, if any of the above could be a work-around, at least you can do your job. In IE8, have you made sure to turn on compatibility mode, for the troublesome page, and see if that could fix your problem. In certain cases, I do find, that Firefox will let you click on objects, that you can't get to work in IE, and vice-versa. That's why I have both browsers installed, and am switching between them, depending on the job to be done; and the site to be visited. It is my hope, that the new browser feature of GW, will workk similar in both browsers, that we don't have to run zic-zac in our software collection, just to do a plain forward job. ----- Original Message ----- From: Evan Reese To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2010 7:44 PM Subject: Links That Do Nothing When Clicked (Continued) Using WE 7.2 and IE8, Vista Home Premium, I'm having the same problem with the Search Schedules link on http://www.greyhound.com/# I tried just hitting "enter" on it; I tried routing the pointer to it; nothing seems to make it work. Any other ideas? Is this something wrong with my system, or is there something goofy with Window Eyes? Does anyone ever have this problem with Firefox? Thanks.
