GW., I think you may be on to something. I'm actually dealing right now with trying to open a link that Jaws says clickable on mouse over. Does anybody know what that means? What is the remedy if you encounter this, and how did you turn off mouse over if that's important? I've tried the suggestions mentioned in this thread to get the link to open, so far, no joy.
I can't post what the page is I'm looking at as you'd need a password to get in, but it appears similar to a Gmail mailbox of messages, each on its own line. I believe I'm to the right of a checkbox and from where I am to the end of the row there's a read/unread graphic, then sender, message subject, date etc. from left to right. These links open with the mouse but I can't figure out a keyboard way to open the links.

I wonder if clickable has something to do with mouse over, which I have turned off. The web page has some unlabeled graphics and a form to register. A normal link down the page seems to go to a directory of classes.University of Warwick - Post Graduate Application - New User Registration Postgraduate Admission Registration < Image Image Image > Email address: Password: Confirm password:Please note: Your account will expire after 12 months of inactivity.

Good morning, Two thoughts:First, as per Adrian's suggestion, please pass along a link to one of these pages.Second, I suspect it might be a graphical link of some sort. Do you have a mouse attached and have you tried to perform a mouse click with the mouse rather than a Jaws Keystroke? I seem to recall encountering a few instances over the years where for some reason the actual mouse performed where Jaws failed to do so.Cordially, Richard P.

Hi folks,I sometimes encounter some element in a web page, for example a line of text, a graphic or etc, that Jaws appends a "clickable" word to the end of what it says. What is it? is the element akind of link? It appears to me that the element is not connected to a link; when I press space or left click on it nothing happens!I got stuck in an inaccessible web page with a lot of such elements. Cheers!
