Clickable objects on webpages
|
Sile
Hello
I have come across lists of clickable objects on a webpage that are not links and that do not appear when you enter edit mode either. They can be clicked with a mouse, but don't respond to enter or space. Is there another way to access clickable things like this with NVDA? --Sile

A lot of clickable objects can be activated with
enter. But as with other structures, some web page designers don't make
them respond to enter so you have to use other ways, such as the simulated
mouse, which is evidently one of the things you use.

Sometimes when enter does not work, I bring up the list with insert
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
F7 and then enter on the item I want. Why this happens I don't know.

I have come across objects that can't be activated from the keyboard at all. Not even the simulated mouse click keys will work. This is a clear viol.ation of

Move to the link or other item you want to
click. I don't know the laptop commands for the following
actions.
Using the desktop layout, hold the NVDA key and
press numpad slash to move the simulated mouse to where you are. The way a
lot of people prefer is to hold numpad insert and while doing so, press numpad
slash. Then press just numpad slash to left click the item. To right
click the item, press numpad star, which is the key to the right of numpad
slash. Numpad slash is the second key from the left on the top row of the
numpad.
