I have noticed that links won't open a lot recently and I am using IE 9 and
Jaws 14 with Win 7 laptop.
Mostly I notice this in conjunction with entering information to sign into a
website or sign up or whatever. For 5 different websites recently I have
had to go to Firefox to sign in. I was planning to just switch to Firefox
totally but then Jaws started getting hung up and not letting me close the
Firefox program. Using latest update of Jaws 14 and don't really know
which to make my default browser. I wish I could make links on my desktop
to open certain links in Firefox but it just uses the default browser.
But in general with at least 5 websites I have to go to Firefox to sign in
or sign up. Among these are my Bank of America and Publix digital coupons
as well as Lookout mobile security.
Also aggravated with IE 9 because it keeps wanting me to update add ones and
I don't want to-I just want that nagging to go away.

JAWS seems to have a focus issue with older browsers. Here at work, we
are still using IE 7, and often when JAWS reads a control and you try to
activate it, you are really activating something altogether different.

I find that jaws14 has a hard time focusing on links. Jaws reports that
I am on a link but will not activate it. As a work around I bring up
the links list, it usually presents me with the link I am trying to
activate and I choose move to link. This way I can just press enter on
the link or use the application key to open the page in a new window.
You can give it a try to see if that might be the problem or you might
find out it might be something else.

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.
