Hi Ray.
I'm not sure how to temporarily by-pass JAWS, other than turn it off.
Regarding pop-up stoppers, I have Sygate, AFG and Pop-Up Killer running, so
perhaps one of these is causing the problems eh?

idd you try my suggestion of using the JAWS bypass key before pressing
enter on the link? It sounds to me as if that fould very likely be the
solution. You could have an ad-popup blocker that isn't letting the
keystroke through. this is what cured it for me with Window-Eyes. The
Google popup blocker was getting in the way there.

| Hi all and thanks for all the advice guys.
|
|
| There is something quite wrong here with JAWS and the BBC's Listen Again
| service. Every time I click on the link to listen again, I hear a
definite
| click from my speakers and nothing happens. Today, I got to the link,
then
| turned JAWS off and pressed enter on the link and it worked! However,
| rather than be taken to the particular file I wanted to listen to, I
arrived
| at the Radio Player Page. If I have got to turn JAWS off, every time I
wish
| to listen again to a broadcast, then I'd not bother doing it this way.
I
| have, in my mind, two other options. One of these is to use the BBC's
Radio
| Player and a list member has kindly provided me with the link to this.
I
| attempted this this morning but ended up on a page with blank tables and
I
| could not understand how to use it. My other option and this is my
| favourite at the moment, is to save the url's to the particular shows
that
| I'd listen again to and place these on a web-page on my computer. I am
| currently building such a web-page and in my view, it's much easier.
For
| example, if I wanted to listen live to Radio 2, all I'd need to do is
bring
| up my web-page with a single key-stroke and tab down to a link titled
Listen
| to Radio 2. In total, I could listen to radio 2 with less than four
| key-strokes. Alternatively, I could listen again, for example, to Bob
| Harris's show with another tab or two. I'm really quite sick running
around
| in circles on web-pages, listening to my speakers clicking and getting
| nothing for my efforts. I'm happy to try again to understand the BBC's
| Radio Player but this far, there has been little discussion on this list
as
| how to set everything up. It's just so complicated. The web-page which
I
| am building, and incidentally, I can send it to anyone who would like to
try
| it out, has very few links. For instance I have links to listen live to
BBC
| Radio 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. I have Listen Again links to Bob Harris's show,
| Simon Maeoy's show and have included further links to listen to Main
Menu,
| and tTheBlind Col Tec page. I can of course add to these urls later
when I
| come across a good show. I can also add my TV listings and include TV
if I
| wanted. Perhaps the BBC's Radio Player is a good option, but I'd be
limited
| to BBC broadcasts, whereas my web-page is actually all I want it to be.
I'd
| be interested to hear from other list members who may be trying out
similar
| methods of organising schedules of programs in this way, or others who
are
| convinced that the Radio Player is the best method. Sorry for going on
so
| long folks. Best wishes. Andy
