I often use BBC news, and I have JAWS 6.1 and IE 6. I don't think I have
experienced the problem you mention.
I get a daily e-mail of the top headlines for the subjects I am interested
in. Each headline is followed by a link to the full story, which I cut and
paste into my browser.
I also have accessible RSS news and sometimes access stories from there.
I do also choose stories from the main site if I spot anything I want to
read, and I think the links have always gone to the right story.

HI all.
Just doing a little survey amongst screenreader users.
How many of you get your news from bbc.co.uk ?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news
I'm a Jaws user. I have some problems following links on this page and was
wondering if anyone else does too?
It doesn't always seem to happpen but if you click a headline, often it'll
take you through to the wrong story. But if you go back again, you find that
you get the wrong story about once or twice out of every ten clicks.
Usually it's not the big main headlines at the top, it's the smaller ones
further down the page.
Any feedback appreciated. I know there's a problem somewhere and would like
to be able to give it a name so I can get back to the developers on the BBC
News site who can't replicate it.
I have the problem at home and at work running jaws 7 or 8 with internet
explorer 6 and 7. And as I say, my colleague also has the same problem.
Thanks.
