Bill and all:

 

I tried these instructions, with no luck.

 

The news letter still reads very awkwardly, with Jaws saying “clickable at the end of every line.

How to stop JAWS from saying "clickable" on websites

 

 

Hi, Tom. Open Firefox.

In

"Settings Center"

under the

"Web / HTML / PDFs"

category, there is a subcategory labeled

"Miscellaneous"

Under

"Miscellaneous"

there is a setting labeled

"Indicate Element Attribute"

Unchecking this setting will stop Jaws from saying

"Clickable"

Hello, everyone.

 

I just received a faculty Emeriti news letter from my University.  The letter is accessed via a link that was included in an e-mail.

 

I can open the news letter with no problem, but when I start reading it, Jaws says clickable at the end of every line.

 

Obviously, this makes for an anoying reading experience.

 

I have received news letters from this organization before, and have not had this problem.

 

Is there something I can do to turn this “clickable” announcement off, or could it be something in the way the news letter was sent and formatted?

 

I’m using Jaws 17, Windows 7, and Firefox as my main internet browser.

 

Thanks for any advice!
