Event handlers can be added programmatically through addEventListener and may not appear as attributes if you are just looking at the code.

Okay folks,



This has gotten me stumped here. I have the whole DOM of multiple pages and neither one has onclick or onmouseover. Yet, JAWS 17 is announcing Clickable after static text.



What other DOM elements could make JAWS or NVDA announce Clickable besides the above?
