its not useful as far as i am concerned.
both window eyes and n v d a does the same thing. and so far none of these so
called clickables click on anything.
if i could turn this off for all my screen readers i would do it. its totally
useless to me.

Hey Cristobal.
Yes, I know I can disable it, but having JAWS detect these elements is
potentially useful. It just seems like it's doing it wrong, and I'd like to
know why that is. I know I'm not the only one; does everyone else just turn
the whole thing off, or live with it?

Disable the detect elements setting in your Jaws settings. Going off of
memory so the exact terminology may be off, but it's easy to find. I'm sure
someone else will provide step by step instructions if needed.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Why does JAWS say "clickable" when it isn't?
Hey everyone.
I know this topic came up here some time ago, but I'm afraid it wasn't
relevant to me at the time and wasn't a thread I took the time to read. So,
sorry for bringing it up again.
But yes, I was just wondering about this. I understand that there often *is*
"clickable" text on a webpage, and JAWS is trying to inform me of this fact.
But on many pages, every line will say "clickable", even though there is
nothing to click/nothing happens when you click. Why is this? And can I get
a happy medium somewhere? Obviously I don't want to miss important
information about a page, but when I'm reading a wikipedia article or IMDB
review or something and hear "clickable, clickable, clickable", on what
appears to be static text - that just seems like weird, excessive noise.
