It sounds to me as though that is exactly what it is. It is probably
nothing to do with the screenreader . At one time I had the google toolbar
installed and used to have this problem. I think you can let things through
by holding down the shift key when you pres enter.

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
