[nvda] Re: having trouble clicking on the hotmail link in NVDA

Hi, Jamie. I didn't think of clicking on the word "envelope". Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a shot.

Hi Rosemarie,
Do you mean you just went to www.msn.com? There is a link there that reads as: 
Link Envelope graphic Hotmail
Is this the link you tried to activate?
If you press enter on the "Envelope" part, it will work. However, pressing enter on the "Hotmail" part will not. This is an NVDA/Firefox bug that occurs with certain links. Normally, enter should work just fine. We are aware of the issue and will find a solution. I've filed a bug against Firefox, but there is some debate as to whether it is a Firefox issue or an NVDA issue.

Hi, everyone.  I was just on the MSN web site and tried to click on the
hotmail link. I first hit the enter key. Next I hit the space bar and
then I hit the left mouse button but none of these things worked. I know
in Jaws you can either hit enter or the space bar to activate a link. I
had trouble trying to find the information about a keystroke in NVDA for
clicking on a link like hotmail. Any help with this would be very much
appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
