Gary, Katherine, and Alan-
I found out something helpful late yesterday- It was bugging me that some
people said they could use the JAWS cursor, but I was getting nothing that way.
But- if I press home to make sure my cursor is on text in those fake links
before simulating a left click, I can get the page to change. It sort of seems
like that even though these text links are on a single line, the whole line is
not active like we're used to... so that the cursor position on the line really
does matter in this case. Katherine, I did try another older version of JAWS,
but can't use 6.20 because I have IE7. Alan, your idea is very interesting and
I'm sure going to file that one away.

Cher,
You asked:
"So, do you think that that one page is all there is and that you can't
link to pre-owned or new or any words on the screen? We tried
simulating mouse actions with the JAWS cursor, but that did not work
either. Sometimes we could see the content in the main frame, but
sometimes it was empty."
You may be able to use Google to reach other pages at that auto dealer's web
site. To tell Google to search for key words or phrases at that web site, you
need to use the "site:" command in the Google search field, followed by the
Internet address, and then the key word or phrase. Here's an example:
site:rivergatetoyota.com pre-owned
The above command would look for any occurrence of "pre-owned" in any of the
pages at that Internet address, and then you can click on any of the results
and go to that page, bypassing that troublesome start page.
