Just chiming in here, to let you all know, that I recently have been dealing with a website where I had a similar problem. Even if I followed your suggestion Ralph, there was no way for me to activate the button in question. i then made a discovery.

Wehn your mouse has been properly focused on the control in question, try hit the Application-key on your keyboard. Don't necessary assume, that the right-clicking of the mouse will work. Once the App-key has been pressed, a context menu will open. Scroll down to the entry saying Open, and hit Enter.

Don't know if this will work on all sites, but it sure helped me out on the page I was troubled.

David,

if you are using IE, earlier than IE9, you can route the mouse to the cursor with numpad-insert + plus-sign.Then try to find the word send with numbad 2, numpad 8 and insert 4, insert 6 and insert 7 and insert 9. If you have found it hit the numpad / (divide) key as a single left mouse click and see if it
works.

Regards,
 Ralf

Subject: Activating keys

Hi all,
I am not sure if my subject of this message is correct so I will just
explain my problem.

I am using a dating site and I am having some issues with some of the
features.  For example, if I want to email someone that I am interested in
chatting with I can write my message but the send key is just a long bar
with the word send on it. It doesn't matter if browse mode is off or on and
all WE says is Send.  So it isn't a button or a link so I can't send my
message. This also happens when I reply to a message sent to me and when I
go to send WE says Reply but nothing else so I can't send my reply.  This
means I have to have a sighted person do these functions for me and honestly
it can be a little embarrassing because I do not like anyone reading my
messages.  There is also another button, function, or whatever you call it
that says, I'm interested that I can not click.  If anyone can help this
would be greatly appreciated.


Dave
