Hi folks:
First I should say that I'm a relatively new Jaws scripter. I done some pretty
simple scripts like writing key commands that will look at a web page and
read certain areas etc.
Anyways, I work in computer security and one of the things we check is where
are links going to take one too. E.g. an evil person can make the link so it
looks like when you click on it you would be going to say Freedom scientific's
site, but in the html code it actually takes you to an evil site.
e.g.
the html code for the link would read.
<a href=http://evilsite.com>Freedom Scientific</a>
The place that one goes to is specified by the href statement, but jaws reads
to the user the info after the evilsite>
A sighted person can get this info of where the link will take you by merely
hovering the mouse over the link and it displays the location on the screen.
Anyways, to get this info as a jaws user one puts the virtual cursor on the
link text, then issues the windows application key and selects the option for
copy link. Then one can go to say notepad and paste the clipboard and voila
you see that the link that says freedom scientific is actually going to take
you to the evilsite
Way to many steps.
I've have written the following little script and it actually works. Well most
of the time.
Here's the script. And then I'll ask my questions.
Script CopyRealLink ()
SayString("Please wait")
{shift+f10} ; is the windows application key sequence
pause ()
{ e} ; is the option for copy link
EndScript
This works and one can see where the freedom scientific site will go to the
evilsite.com instead of switching and pasting the link results into a notepad
as stated above I tried the virtual clipboard with the jawskey + spacebar then
the letter c. and the evilsite link shows up.
Its really cool.
My questions:
1. Rather then having to do the jawskey + spacebar then the letter c to get
the clipboard viewer up I would like to add this into my script. So should I
try and do this via keyboard input or hat script or fuction should I be
calling? I've started reading through various default jaws .jss files but
haven't found what I think is the answer.
2. Anyone familiar with how to flush or clean out the virtual viewer after
one has read it?
Thanks for any and all of your assistance.
Have a good day.
