a little practice just pressing the mouse button should do the trick. hold down controll and press the mouse button for a fraction of a second or you can press I think it is option-enter to start the download.

Hi David, I don't feel comfortable with using the physical mouse, so I
wonder if there is a way to click the mouse from the key board, or with voice over, since I get the message unable to root voice over cursor to
the mouse?

Hi David, how do you click, or is that another way of saying press
enter or return?

Marti, when you are on the link, to use the mouse, hold down control
and
just click.

Hi Cara, I can't get a context menu to offer a menu to download any of
the files, and I'm using a mac mini.  Once the page has loaded, as it
finally has done, and it has over eight hundred and some odd links, I
navigate to the link I want, and then to make sure, I press vo f5, and
if the mouse is not under the link, I press vo command f5, then I
press
vo f5 again to make sure the link is under the mouse, but still, I
can't get any context menu to offer a menu of choices, just a ding,
and
when I left click, the file starts playing, and I don't know where the
files are so I can snag them like I can in windows if this should
happen, hope this makes sense, because I don't know how to use the
physical mouse.

 Marty, for me, Safari says 'busy' while it's loading the page.
This isn't unlike WinEyes saying 'loading' while a page is still being

rendered / dl'ed as the user presses a key or  tries to navigate with
the screen reader.

 Once the page is loaded, I navigate to the link, either with VO nav

or the IC, (Item Chooser) - VO I, and then use ctrl click via my track

pad.

 From there I can save the linked file as.

 Now, in Safari preferences, you can set your downloads folder.
This is the default folder Safari will use for future downloaded items

unless you specify another one as with the above process.

 Does this make sense?.

HTH and have an awesome eve!.

Smiles,

Cara  :)

Hi all, if you go to the page,
http://www.audioldies.net
and press the come on in link, and then the special themes link,
because the page is so large, how does one know when the page is
fully
loaded, first of all, and second of all, how does one download one of
the songs from that page?  I tried pressing the link chooser menu,
and
it must have thought I wanted to download the song I was on, because
it
started playing, which raises another question, and that is, if these
mp3's are being downloaded, where are they being downloaded to, so I
can get them?  Sorry for so many questions in one post, but I tried
using vo shift m, and just got dinged at, and I tried pressing vo
shift
f5, and it said unable to route mouse to the link, or something like
that, so, how does one deal with large pages with voice over, and
sorry
for the torant of questions.
