Hi Steve,
A few suggestions which might work.
There is a keystroke for jumping to the next clickable element which is the
slash key.
You can bring up a list of clickable elements by using
JawsKey+control+slash. Select the one you want, tab to the ok button and
press enter.
You can apply custom labels to graphical items by highlighting the item and
then pressing JawsKey+control+tab. Type in the label you want to hear and
click ok.
You may find that the page reads links better if you turn the virtual cursor
off. You do this by JawsKey+z and press the same keys again to turn it on.
If you are having trouble with associating the graphics with the table
cells, it might be worth trying setting the presentation mode to screen
layout. Do this temporarily as follows:
JawsKey+v, cursor down to presentation mode and press the space bar until
you hear screen mode, tab to ok and press enter. This will only work while
you stay in the current window. If you need to know how to make it
permanent come back to us.
A combination of some of these suggestions may help.
HTH,
Phil Medway

Subject: [jaws-uk] Over coming badly written html pages
Hi All,
I am using Windows XP with Jaws V8 together with a new browser based
application in my job.
Most of the links in this application are not conventional links. They
are these 'clickable' type links that don't respond to insert F7. I'm not
aware of an easy solution to this problem, other than text searching or
setting markers.
My main concern though is with one particular page which contains a
table . I am required to click a graphical button, to the left of each
table row. Worse still, the button is not part of the table at all, it is
next to the table but not actually in it.
I had hoped to over come the issue by using the jaws curser but so far
this hasn't helped. When I try to route Jaws to curser, nothing happens. I
am hoping I will be able to play around with the graphics verbosity and make
the route Jaws to curser command work but I don't know how to do this
without the use of specialist scripts.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Steve
