Hi Kevin & Net bat, Below are 2 different ways of stopping the, Clickable, element from being reported by Jaws: how to make JAWS ignore only the announcement of "clickable" without affecting the other elements is to:
browse to a website that has occurrences of "clickable". start settings center. find and expand, speech and sounds schemes. down arrow to and activate modify schemes. Tab to, Edit scheme, & press the spacebar. control+tab to html tab. tab and down arrow to on click speak. tab and down arrow to ignore. tab to and activate ok. at this point, the modified scheme needs to be saved and chosen to when the browser is used. From: Carlos via BlindTech In "Settings Center" under the "Web / HTML / PDFs" category, there is a subcategory labeled "Miscellaneous" Under "Miscellaneous" there is a setting labeled "Indicate Element Attribute" Unchecking this setting will stop Jaws from saying "Clickable" Although I would not recommend this since there are times when you will miss out on elements of webpages that may be useful and are clickable. Carlos Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement. In the end you have to ignore everything, & click I agree. ----- Original Message ----- From: net bat66 To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, July 08, 2017 8:31 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] clickable most of the so called clickables are not clickable at all. window eyes is the same way. except you can turn them off. i saw the option in jaws once but i haven't found the option again. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Sent: Saturday, July 08, 2017 8:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] clickable it hasn't worked for me MOST of the time. when I entered or space on the clickable you are correct focus is lost. thanks for the explaination! -----Original Message----- From: Jitendra Kumar Sent: Saturday, July 8, 2017 7:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] clickable It is a type of link or button, with OnClickHandler event, therefore JAWS does not recognize as link, but if you click on it, the action is performed. For example, if JAWS says: Download clickable, pressing enter or space starts the download, sometimes it does not work well in ff though, and focus is moved elsewhere. use "slash" to move to the next click item, and ctrl+JAWSKey+/ to make a list of them. HTH, Thank you.
