Teresa Arroyo -----Mensaje original----- From: Darren Gilchrist Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2014 1:20 PM To: [email protected] 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. ________ Darren -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Flor Lynch Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 19:50 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Unable to Activate Links on a Web Application inFirefox 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.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darren Gilchrist" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 10:49 PM 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.
