Hi list.
I am hoping I have come to the write place where someone might be able 
to help me.
I recently found out about the hotspot clicker scripts for jaws,
I have a very complex application I need to create hotspots for, it has 
a lot of different child windows that can be opened from the main 
application window, and will need a lot of hotspots.
I am able to create the hotspots with no problem.
However, the issue I am experiencing is that I am able to click a 
hotspot from one part of the application window, but then if I move to 
another part, the hotspot location changes on the screen, by moving on 
to a new list of options, and this happens with several hotspots I have 
created. that when I click them from one part of the screen they 
function as expected, but when I click them from somewhere different, I 
am taken to the wrong part of the screen.
So can I please get some advice from the list about how I can create 
hotspots, but take into account the fact that the hotspot location 
changes between fixed points on the screen.
when I create my hotspots for positioning method I am using top level 
window coordinates. I have tried with several of the other positioning 
methodds, but this doesn't seem to help when the hotspot location changes.
I am a complete newbie to hotspot clicker and to jaws scripting, so any 
help would be really appreciated.
Many thanks, Alex.
