Sometimes, at least with Jaws 14, I've noticed that certain links won't open
the first time, you have to hit enter twice or go to the links list and hit
the activate button. This appears to have been resolved if you downloaded
the latest update though.
Also, make sure you don't have the info bar coming up asking you to allow a
pop-up or Adobe flash.

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
