Hi Adrian,

Not sure I want to make it public, as it's a work site that I log onto. Folks would then have access to my work and pay history, etc. lol. Not that it's much right now. But just the same.

There is also another control used to upload files from this work site, and JAWS simply cannot see the control. I know I accidentally managed to do it once, but have no idea how I did it. It's like an invisible buttoj. Is anyone aware of how to find and/or label controls that seem to be invisible but that can be activated if one gets lucky with a click location?

Jean

Jean,

I encounter a control that sounds similar on a website that requires you to log in. there's an item that used to be a link but that is now activated by the spacebar. It purports to contain a menu, but if it does, it consists of only one item, which is the same as the control's label. To activate it after pressing the spacebar, I press enter and am taken to the page I want.

Thinking about your description, there may be one or two differences. I'm not sure. Could you give the link to the page in question so that people can take a look?

I’m having problems with a web page control. Having Jaws spell its label, it says Options. Jaws reads the control as Options Button Menu Collapsed. I can get into this menu with the spacebar. Jaws then turns on forms mode. I’m told to activate the menu with spacebar, and navigate using the arrows. No go. If I’m lucky, I can hear one item, but I definitely can’t navigate this control or make choices from the menu. Any ideas?

Jean
