Hi, Not sure if I understand all the specifics of the problem that you're experiencing. But, I'll give some work-arounds that I use in similar situations.
First, when trying to click on a link in a header, I find that, sometimes, for whatever reason, I have to interact with the header to access the link. Again, not always, but sometimes. Secondly, I can, usually, use VO-Shift-M to bring up a contextual menu & click on "Open link in a new window" or "Open link in a new tab." But again, that's usually. Other times, when using this procedure, I'll get another context menu that begins with "Back." Then, I know I've got to go the pseudo sighted Mac user route. I.E. I route the mouse to the link, via VO-Command-F5. I verify the previous function via VO-F5 & then press Control-actual track pad click. This always brings up the correct menu. Note: this won't work if Track Pad Commander is enabled in Voice Over configuration. Hence, I tend not to use it in Safari. Hope this helps, CJ On Aug 23, 2013, at 8:17 AM, swgowin <swgo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Using Mountain Lion and Voice Over, how do I open a link on the NLS BARD > (digital talking book) web site?
