you could get the text from the clipboard, and display it in a jaws edit
box.
Let str = GetTextFromClipboard ()
MessageBox (str)
Revise as needed to get it to actually compile. Obviously, str is a string
variable.

Subject: [jawsscripts] A scripting browser problem!!!
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.
