The message could have been more specific, indicating that the pass through procedure is referring to the attached submenu rather than to the link. I don't recall that I've seen submenus attached to links except on Audible, but there must be other examples somewhere.

Gary,

This is useful information, and you're right, the applications key brings up a different menu depending on whether I reach the link by arrowing or tabbing. I hadn't known. That said, Audible's instruction to press the pass-through key combo is confusing when all a visitor need do is press enter to reach the item named in the link.

Adrian,
In order to get the pass through to work properly, you must tab to the links
with the submenus instead of using your arrow keys.  This is due to a
long-standing problem that JAWS has of focusing a link.  To see an example
of this, arrow to a link; then press your Applications key and note the menu choices. Then tab to the same link and repeat the process. You should see
a different menu.

Drew,

My experience on the Audible website says to ignore this pass-through
verbalization. For example, whenever I land on the "Library" link, Audible
issues that pass-through message. However, I just press enter, as usual,
and I go right to the library. I've tried the pass-through insert-3 key on
that link just to see what happened, and the answer was nothing.

Dear list,

I'm sure this has been addressed before, but on the audible.com site, in
order to access some of the menus jaws says  "press passkey and space to
get
through" or something like that. What is the command for the pass key with
Jaws? thanks
