 Hi all,

 I have a web page on which there is an anchor tag as below:
  <A id="myTab" href="javascript:void(0)"
         goto="#tab-content2"  jQuery171006953337411234167="3">
    Contact us
  </A>
 Using JAWS 10, I can find and activate the link using InsertF7. But when
 JAWS 13 is used for the same purpose, focus jumps to the link but does not
 activate it.

 Backtracking InsertF7, I ended up with the "DlgListOfLinks" function in
 Virtual.jss. I couldn't dig any further since I couldn't file the code in
 any jss file.

 The link can be activated by calling its "click" method:
 document.getElementById('myTab').click. I'm wondering how JAWS 13 tries to
 activate the link that fails.

 To my understanding "SelectALink4" function of the Internet Explorer.jss
 uses the "click" method. But I don't know what "DlgListOfLinks" does to
 activate a link.

 This behaviour has been observed both on WinXP with IE7 and Win7 with IE8.

 Any help would be highly appreciated,

 Kamil
