Hi, if it is a true button pressing a "b" should take you to the button.

Subject: [VICUG-L] How Do I Reach a Button?

Hi, Everybody,

I am using a laptop with windows seven and jaws 12, but I also have a
desktop with windows vista and jaws 11.

On both machines, I went to www.xfinitytv.com and tried tochange my
location, because the zip code was wrong for some reason and therefore I
could not get correct TV listings.  Eventually, having followed
instructions, I reached the word "submit" which might be a button or a
link; it was above the wqord "cancel."  I entered on "submit" 
but the machines did nothing; I tried to bring the jaws cursor down to
the word but it would not go neaqrly that far no matter what I tried,
including maximizing all windows, tabbling, and paging down.

Since I don't have a tactile mouse, is there anything I can do short of
getting sighted assistance?  I am not sure this bodes well for
controlling my new DVR from the computer but I won't know till I get the
zip right.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Ilene
