Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Unable to Activate Links on a WebApplication
inFirefox
Hi,
Yes, I did try pressing INSERT + F7 to get the list of links and pressing
TAB twice to activate the link from this dialog box. Unfortunately, it did
not work.
I did mean INSERT + 3. This JAWS hotkey allow the next keystroke to be pass
through the application or operating system without it being intercepted by
JAWS. Normally, the ENTER key simulate a left mouse button click when you
use it to activate a link. According to one document I read, a person should
use INSERT + 3 and then ENTER to activate the link without simulating the
mouse click, whenever just simply pressing ENTER does not work. AS I
mentioned, this technique did not work.
Regardless, I appreciate your suggestions. I was just hoping someone have
learned a workaround that is different from the usual techniques.
Thank you.

Using the JAWS (Insert+F7) links list, and there finding and then activating
the required link by tabbing twice and then pressing ENTER or SPACE, usually
works, when entering from the actual page doesn't. (I think you meant
Insert+F3 rather than Insert+3.)

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Unable to Activate Links on a Web Application
inFirefox
Hi,
I am working with a Web front end for managing DNS and DHCP servers
and have encountered acatch-22. This Web front end has a series of
menus that must be activated to access the various screens to perform
the tasks related to DNS and DHCP.
When I use Internet Explorer (IE 10), the menus are both links and
MouseOver elements,, but I cannot get consistent results using the
virtual PC cursor. However, I can activate these menus by using the
JAWS cursor to place the mouse cursor over a menu and clicking it with
the right mouse button. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer is having
difficulty rendering some of these screens properly.
I tried Mozilla Firefox (latest version, whatever version that is).
JAWS reports these menus as links, but any attempt to activate these
links using the virtual PC cursor do not seem to get any response. I
attempted to activate the links by pressing INSERT + 3 and then
pressing ENTER, but got no response. While using the JAWS cursor, JAWS
does not report that these menus exist.
In the past, I have notice pressing the ENTER key does not always
activate links. At times, some links simply cannot be activated using
the ENTER key. I am forced to find a workaround. As with this
situation, the workarounds do not always work.
Does anyone has any suggestion on how to activate such a links? Is
there any JAWS keyboard shortcut for such a situation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
