Hi
Did you try pressing the space bar on the link? I have seen this work for some
links.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Alternative methods for clicking a button
Hi
I have a button on a web page in Internet Explorer 10 running under WIN7 that I
am unable to activate. I can click the button without any problem when I use
Firefox, but in IE I cannot activate it with either a LeftMouseClick
(insert+slash) or with the enter key. I tried routing the JAWSCursor and the
InvisibleCursor, and I have tried tethering the JAWSCursor to follow the
VertualCursor, but I can't activate the 'Save' button on this web based data
form.
I have been using Firefox with this particular web application for my work
situation, but I really need to switch to IE10. Firefox crashes 2 to 3 times a
day, which is a real problem, since it often locks up my laptop when it crashes
and requires a forced shutdown.
What other approaches could I use to get JAWS 14 to activate an uncooperative
button. By the way, all other buttons on the page work fine in either IE10 or
Firefox.
Thanks,
John

One of the parameters to UserBufferAddText is the name of a function that will
be executed if you press enter on the line of text you are adding.
Supplying that parameter makes it a link. And, I think you also need to supply
another parameter which is the name of the link to be used if anybody presses
jawsKey+f7 while in your buffer.

Yeah, didn’t make any difference.
What I found was UserBufferAddText ignores the %KeyFor
In the end the only way I could get it to work as I wanted was to do
something like:
SayFormattedMessage(OT_USER_BUFFER,
FormatStringWithEmbeddedFunctions(Message))
Then the message just consisted of a function call like <GenerateLink>
Then I had a function GenerateLink() that returned the line
%KeyFor(CustomClickAtPoint(GlobalVar1, GlobalVar2, GlobalVar3))
A pain in the proverbial but did the trick.
I used my own click at point script so that I didn’t have to add a keystroke
to the script so the %KeyFor wasn’t adding unwanted text to my output. Also
I needed some extra custom handling for some special circumstances.
So I got there in the end but I wouldn’t have had a clue without your help
so big thanks John.

Did you clear the user buffer before adding?

Thanks John
I have found that UserBufferAddText doesnt replace the % in the way that
SayFormattedMessage does.
Also had some fun trying to drop parameters into the function as well so I
could use the following:
%KeyFor(ClickAtPoint(iColumn, iRow, Coordsys_Pixels))
Ended up using global variables and bouncing the message through
FormatStringWithEmbeddedFunctions
I am getting fed up of this application!
