No problem Will, glad I could help! Yeah as with all technology things will work other will break! As long as you found something that works for you then that's all well and good! Oh while I remember, I've just had a thought. Are you using safari? If so, do you know about the developer menu at all? You have to turn it on in the advance tab of system preps with command comma. It should be a check box. Once this is turned on it will be in the menu bar and it is under user agent which you want. Basically if you are in counting problems with a particular website with this thing that I've described you can change it to internet explorer firefox and another I can't remember.This is the sort of thing that might work with your link problem with voiceover. I know because I have had the same problem on the RNIB website when I was looking at the description of a book. I changed it to IE8 and it clicked the link. As a side note, when you quit safari, and open it again it will default to safari again.
Hope this helps. Daniel On 8 Jun 2012, at 01:48, Will Cummings wrote: > Hi Daniel, > > I think that more or less solved the problem.
