moderated How does one hover over a link?

Bill White
Some websites instruct the user to hover over a link to bring up an edit box or a delete button? How does one do this with JAWS?
Thank you.

Hi Bill,

To hover over a link you need these steps: 1. Route PCCursor to VirtualCursor (Ctrl.+JAWS+Delete) 2. Active JAWS Cursor (NumpadMinus) 3. Route JAWSCursor to PCCursor (JAWS+NumpadMinus) You need these 3 steps because as far as I know there's no script to route the JAWS-Cursor (= Mouse) to the VirtualCursor. If you want you can use the following script to do these steps in one and add your own shortcut: <Code start> Script RoutMouseToVirtual () ; Save which Cursor is used SaveCursor () ; Route PC Cursor to virtual Cursor RoutePCToVirtual () ; Wait till the commands are over Pause () ; activate JAWS Cursor JAWSCursor () ; wait again Pause () ; Route JAWS Cursor to PC Cursor RouteJAWSToPC () ; wait again Pause () ; Get back to the cursor you used at the begin RestoreCursor () EndScript <Code end> Sometimes you need to route the JAWS Cursor (mouse) to the element with focus and make a mouse click there. So here is another script to do this task. Added is one more line to do the mouse click: Script RoutMouseToVirtual () ; Save which Cursor is used SaveCursor () ; Route PC Cursor to virtual Cursor RoutePCToVirtual () ; Wait till the commands are over Pause () ; activate JAWS Cursor JAWSCursor () ; wait again Pause () ; Route JAWS Cursor to PC Cursor RouteJAWSToPC () ; wait again Pause () ; do a left mouse click LeftMouseButton () ; Get back to the cursor you used at the begin RestoreCursor () EndScript <Code end> I hope this will help you. If you need more instructions on installing the script(s) let me know. All the best Udo

Sometimes switching to narrator, tabbing to the link, and then using the Aero keys to scroll down well list out the options.

Hi,
Can you not do this with Control JAWS and Numpad Enter? That should expand the elements of the pop up. Just put your virtual cursor on the link and press Control JAWS and Numpad Enter.
All the best

Script RoutMouseToVirtual () ; do a left mouse click
