Re: JAWS / says "No clickable elements on page"

When is JAWS giving you the "no clickable elements" message. Are you using the / (slash) hot key in virtual cursor mode?

If you are testing with JAWS you will want to use other keys to navigate and use the page. I think the only time I have ever used that keystroke myself is I need to find a page element that isn't one of the HTML 5 interactive elements (like links) or an element provided with an aria role and a tabindex. Basically a situation where someone attached a click event to an element and didn't do any of the other things that would make it accessible.

Thanks,
