Frank:
This could be really helpful, and I'll give it a try when I'm back to the
home computer.
The darn = signs get in the way at times as I try reading your instructions,
but I had no trouble making sense out of them in the end.

Dave and all:
I just did a call sign lookup on qrz.com using my work laptop here out at t=
he RV, and had absolutely no problem. Internet Explorer workss just fine, =
although it is IE 9 on this computer, instead of IE 11 on the home compute=
r.
So, it is now clear to me that the problem is with the google custom tool b=
ar that has found its way onto my home windows 7 PC.
If anyone can tell me how to get rid of that thing, I'd appreciate it.

Hi Tom!
I'd get rid of the google toolbar.

All:
Regarding my QRZ.com issue, Ron's suggestion about using the E key to get i=
nto the edit field worked, using Firefox. I never had to do that before, =
but it is at least a workaround for now.
The E key did not get me into the edit field on qrz.com in Internet Explore=
r, though, because of that stubborn google tool bar.
At least I'm making some progress now. And, it's clear that the problem is=
on my end.
Thanks everyone for your patience.

Hi Tom,
Once I logged in, I didn't have any problem. Move to the edit field with t=
he hot key (e) type in your query, and press enter. After a few seconds, p=
ress escape or (insert + space bar NVDA) to exit forms mode if it doesn't a=
utomatically, then move past the list of 9 items and the graphics and you s=
hould see the information. In fact, the line just above the results has th=
e word donate in it, so you could probably do a screen reader find on donat=
e and then just arrow down a few lines for the information. The on mouse o=
ver/clickable link for the e-mail does work by routing mouse to application=
cursor and clicking in both JAWS and NVDA. I didn't try it in Window-Eyes=
--because I'm still learning that beast after downloading the office for Wi=
ndow- Eyes package. HTH.
