Robin, Thank you so very much.
The secret here was to use the
Insertplus control and enter combination to replicate the application
cursor
going over the link to produce the "mouse over" and bring up the desired
list of actions.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] activate a mouse over link
I searched google re: JAWS MouseOver Commands. This was the result:
OnMouseOvers
Web page authors use OnMouseOvers to display text or images when a visitor
moves the mouse pointer over a particular part of the page. The Freedom
Scientific Product Overview sample page provides an example of a way in
which OnMouseOvers are often used. On this page, when a user moves the
mouse
pointer over one of the product names, which are actually graphic links,
the
page displays a brief summary of the product. When the user clicks the
graphic, the page takes them to the Freedom Scientific Web site to provide
additional resources.
NOTE: Two different things happen here depending on whether you simply move
the mouse cursor over the graphic or actually activate the link.
JAWS says, "OnMouseOver" when you move to an element with an OnMouseOver.
OnMouseOver is an attribute that Web page authors add to HTML elements to
enable OnMouseOver functionality.
Open the Freedom Scientific Product Overview sample page. Read through the
page first. It is relatively short. Notice that after the first heading,
there are four OnMouseOver links which JAWS identifies. Continue reading
and
you will hear a brief bit of text that begins "This page is designed to
demonstrate the use of the OnMouseOver attribute. When a mouse user moves
the pointer over the image links ..." Go ahead and read through this text.
When you activate an OnMouseOver in the next series of steps, this text
will
change on the screen.
Activating an OnMouseOver with JAWS actually moves the mouse cursor over
the
graphic for you. You do this by pressing INSERT+CTRL+ENTER when you hear
JAWS announce OnMouseOver links. To see how JAWS interacts with
OnMouseOvers
on Web pages, do the following:
Go to the Freedom Scientific Product Overview sample page and press DOWN
ARROW until you move to the one of the graphic links with an OnMouseOver.
Press INSERT+CTRL+ENTER to activate the OnMouseOver for that link.
JAWS announces that the page has changed at a certain line. On the screen,
the brief descriptive text that summarized how to use the page with a mouse
is replaced by text that describes the product.
Press J, type the line number JAWS spoke, and press ENTER. JAWS moves you
directly to the place on the page where the new text is displayed. Using
the
Jump To Line command (J) in this manner allows you to read new information
that appears on the page when you activate an OnMouseOver. Take a moment to
read through the new text.
Press SHIFT+J to move back to the graphic link. Holding down SHIFT when
using the Jump To Line command moves you back to your previous location on
the page.
Press ENTER to activate the link. This takes you to the Freedom Scientific
Web site. You can press BACKSPACE to return to the previous page.
Try moving to the other OnMouseOver links and following these same steps
for
more practice.
JAWS Tip: Notice how pressing ENTER and pressing INSERT+CTRL+ENTER can
produce very different results with some Web page elements. Pressing
INSERT+CTRL+ENTER simulates the effect of moving the mouse pointer over the
element, while pressing ENTER simulates the effect of clicking the element.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] activate a mouse over link
List, I am trying to use the "Morningstar" investment web site.
I have noticed to do certain things, I have to activate a "mouse over
link"
which will then bring up a list of actions in a list that will enable me to
either edit, delete, add holdings to the portfolio etc.
Jaws says "mouse over" but when I do a insert F1, jaws says it is a link
and
enter on it to activate the link.
My sighted wife can activate this type of link by moving the mouse to the
link and be given the various options.
When I try and enter on the link with the PC cursor, or route the jaws
cursor to the link and replicate a click on the link, nothing happens.
Is there some sort of special jaws command I am missing.
John
