A few other small things to try, which might not make any diffeerence but
might be tried for academic interest. Press single-click once on the link.
Press SPACEBAR on the link. Route JAWS to PC and then double-click. And
finally, which may be the best one: Turn off the virtual cursor with
Insert+z and then see if you can acttivate the link when you find it.

Thanks for reply. The mouse over message did not come on when I was over the
graphic. I did the usual cntr+insert+enter with no effect.

No, don't do that. You would want it on. Have you ever heard JAWS say,
OnMouseOver? This is a type of link where the mouse hovers over when
you're on it, and the JAWS keystroke to activate it is ctrl+Insert+ENTER.
The text associated with it appears only when this link is specifically
clicked in this way. If there is such text (and there isn't always), after
you perform the above keystroke, JAWS will say, "Page changed at line xx"
where xx is the line number on the page.) So try that keystroke on the
problem link.

Did you turn off JAWS's speaking of OnMouseOver elements/links?

Thanks for reply. I don't think an information bar appears, and alt + n
did
not bring it on. My sighted friend says when she move the mouse cursor
over
the graphic a list appears, and when the cursor goes off the graphic the
list disappears. I used the term drop box incorrectly, but it definitely
is
not a combo box and alt+ down arrow does not bring it on. Jaws does say
only the number of the graphic, certainly not a list of links. I also
tried
insert + f3, and clicked on graphics and then the specific graphic, but
nothing happened. Appreciate any other thoughts.

John,
If it's the Infomation Bar, more about that in a moment.
Does JAWS say 'link' when on the title's graphic? Sometimes ctrl and
spacebar can open a menu undefined by JAWS or a 'box'. There is already
a separate site called Dropbox, so it's best to avoid loose terms like
that one. My first thought was of a combo box, which you would open with
alt+DownArrow.
Also, pres alt-n to bring up the Information Bar (probably that could be
it). Then Allow once or Allow Always, depending on your choice, which
you press space then may arrow to. Then you might enter or double-click
to confirm.

Hi list. I was trying to download an audio book from a website and could
not find a download link. A sighted friend said that when she moved the
cursor to a graphic of the title a drop box appeared with a number of
options including a download link. I have tried both the Jaws cursor and
Pc cursor but cannot access this. There is no shortcut key ie "d" to
use, and the links list does not include the dropbox. I am using JFW13
and Win7, and have tried both IE 10 and latest firefox with no success.
Can anyone suggest any solutions. Thanks in advance.
