Here is the page:
https://postgrad.warwick.ac.uk/SWIFT.web/skins/pgapp/initiator/registration.aspx?FolderID=0000000000000000000000002235119

please also note that the text boxes in the page are unlabeled. When I tab 
around them, I only hear "edit", and not what to edit. The remarks describing 
the text boxes are stuffed at the top. Any idea on what I can do?

  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. Kelly

  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!

  Hamid
