I ran into the same problem yesterday when completing a report on a site for work. I also had a few radio buttons that Jaws would not select no matter what I tried.

I finally just temporarily turned off Jaws and turned on Narrator to do those few task.

Since Narrator did the task without a problem, that told me that the problem is with Jaws. At least thats the case with the problems that I was having.

Ok, I am baffled.  I was filling out a form on a web site.  I successfully completed the form and could not activate the button to submit the form.  I am finding this to be a big headache on other sites I use.  I am running JFW2020.  I tried using the spacebar, enter and even left click.  No luck!  Does anybody have any suggestions how to make clicking buttons work?

Thanks!

On my student's computer with fusion 2020, when fusion starts numlock is turned on. How do we tell fusion to start with numlock off? I have written FS, but had no reply.

Have you tried turning the virtual cursor off with the keystroke JAWS Key/Insert and the letter Z? Then if you loose focus on the button try to find it and press the spacebar.

Serious question:  Are you certain it's a button?  (That is, can you land on it using the B browsing shortcut?)

In recent years there has been what I consider an awful trend, and that is creating links that appear visually as buttons.  I'm constantly seeing things that any sane person (who can also see, literally) would presume are buttons that are not, in actuality, buttons.  

If this thing is a link rather than a button you can find it with screen reader search or by bringing up the list of links and looking for a submit link.

Hi.

 

I’ve got a google account, which of course is connected to youtube (youtube being a google service). I have subscribed to many channels at this point. If you do this, you will usually see links to new content those channels post on your youtube homepage. It’s also just a good way to keep track of the channels you like and visit frequently. Apparently this is considered an “old-school” way of using youtube nowadays, but I only really started taking advantage of it in the last year and change.

Did you have any more specific questions about it?

Hi,

I’m finding more reasons that I want to follow a certain channel on YouTube, such as the Freedom Scientific tutorial videos.  I’m assuming this would make it easier to find the channel and look for videos I might want to watch.  Is subscribing to the channel the correct method?  Does it work well with JAWS?  Do I need a YouTube account for this? 

 

Thanks.

I went directly to the web site and pulled down the update. Downloaded it and then went via windows explorer found the file and hit enter on it and it ran fine. 

Was hoping to avoid having to remove jaws2021 if I remove it and leave shared components will that leave my scripts alone because I’ve got numerous made scripts installed in my user’s directory.

Thanks
