sometimes java script blockers or add blockers will prevent controls or links
from working.
one place i have this problem is when trying to open a link to a p d f file on
a web site. it will do nothing until i turn them off. then the links will
activate.

The obvious problem that comes to mind is possible conflicts with these same
shortcuts used for other purposes, such as by the user's browser.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] keyboard shortcuts on webpages not working
Hi everyone. Forgive the half-formed inquiry, but I'm about to have a meeting
about this and I don't yet have a lot of info. There's a website being designed
where the user can rate a series of statements on a numerical scale. The
creators of the site designed it so that you can do this directly from the
keyboard by using ctrl-key combinations from 1 to 5. So, for example, the user
might see a statement, and press ctrl-3 to give that statement a rating of 3.
Once the key bombination is pressed, the next statement loads. This is
something I have tested and works fine in both Firefox and Chrome using JAWS
18. However, one of the testers is having problems. The keyboard combos do not
work at all. She is a JAWS user. I do not yet know what browser she is using,
but I'll shortly find out. I looked a little at a page describing how one can
use JAVA to do this when developing a site, but I myself am not a developer,
and there's a lot I could be missing. So, in brief, does anyone know if there
are any caveats, prerequisites and such, for these sorts of shortcuts on
websites to work? Is there some setting in either a browser, or even in JAWS,
related to this functionality that she might have to change? I know it's not
presently a lot of info to go on, but any help would be appreciated
nonetheless. Thank you.
