It's even easier that having him install JAWS. Simply take his mouse
away from him then ask him to navigate the site by using only the TAB
key. He won't be able to go anywhere.
The "onMouseOver" function, used in a lot of programming and
scripting
languages, only works when the mouse is hovering over the object the
function is attached to. When one tabs to a link or button, that
link
or button has focus, but the mouse curser could be nowhere near it.
Can he use an "onFocus" function? When something gets focus,
either by
tabbing OR by clicking with a mouse, the function will run.

Dear Renette,
It's not you-- a lot of those mouse-overs don't work for me either.
Only a minority of them do seem to work- and as the result, I get
excited when one does. If the site developer won't take your word
that
mouse-overs are not cool, invite the webmaster to download a demo of
JAWS and try it for him or herself. Perhaps that will speak more
convincingly than many words.

Sure, but I do not then seem to find anything that has changed and
that
is
suppose to change after pressing enter on the "disabled swimming"
link
or by
following the insert 7 and then pressing enter on the link.
Do you?
What am I doing wrong then?

Hey Renet,
Just press the Enter key on the link, that works perfect. You can
also
press Insert+F7 to open the links list Window, down arrow to the
link,
and press enter to open it.
Hope this helps,

Hi All
a web programmer is going to provide a link on a able body swimming
website
to go to disabled stuff.
They make use of "on Mouse overs" which somehow does not always work
as it
should when using Jaws (press: ctrl, insert enter; get text change
dialogue; press j + number where the text has changed and enter).
How can I explain to them that we prefer not "click on mouse
overs",
but
a
simple link where one can only use the enter key to go where one
wants
to
go?
The example website is:
http://cga.sportza.co.za <http://cga.sportza.co.za/>
On this one they use the "on mouse overs"; It does not always work
for
me,
but maybe the problem lies with me?
Thanks.
Renette
