An alternative is to use Firefox, where html5 is better understood than
in IE.
In Internet Explorer, you could try turning off the virtual cursor with
Insert+z, then find
the link and press enter on it. Then Toggle the virtual cursor on again
with insert+z to resume normal operation.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] some links won't open even when hitting shift
enter
I have noticed that some links will not open at all, and this happens
on many websites of late. I may not have my HTML or some other setting
set right, but even trying to do a shift enter, which works sometimes
because some links open in a new browser window, doesn't help. This is
Jaws 14 so not sure if it's a Jaws 14 thing or something in my
configuration settings. I also get the message on some pages that tell
me to upgrade I.E. but I refuse to use 9 because a lot of people have
had trouble navigating or downloading using 9. Are some links
configured in some way to where Jaws can't line up with the link and
open? I can switch to another version to see if the problem persists
but wanted to ask first if anyone has seen kind of a frequent thing
with websites where links just won't open. And it's not the whole
site, just to be clear. It's just certain links on the sites, which
leads me to believe there's something about the link itself that makes
it impossible to open. Do I have to put it back to mouse-over setting
in HTML? I have it not to speak that but should it be put back, as
some links have something to do with something mouse-over related?
Which I don't really know the meaning of but just puzzled about this
whole thing.
Hope someone can help.
Joanne
