Peter,

I remember having a similar problem, I believe with JAWS 6, on other websites. I've just tested that Boeing link with JAWS 8.0 and 6.2, and both versions take me to the Boeing article.

So, which version of JAWS are you using?

One other thought. Instead of using the skip to content link, just search for the word Boeing from the top of the page. Sometimes those skip to content links throw off navigation. I find them more of a nuisance than a help, though they're intended for our benefit. The JAWS "n" skip links command usually does the job.

On the bbc news site at www.bbc.co.uk/news I'm having a problem were I'm clicking on a news story and it is going to the one above.

For example I use ALT +2 to go to the 'skip to content' link, press enter then go down to an article about new orders for Boeing 787' but when I press enter or space bar on it, it goes to the article above about a man dies after tombstoning.

Any ideas what's wrong.

Peter
