Hello everyone,
I currently use Jaws 7.10 and whenever I go on certain websites where I
know there are links, Jaws says, "No Links". I notice it happening on a
lot of survey sites. Can anyone help?

Can you give an example of such a website?
It would not be surprising for this to happen on a survey website because
the pages often consist only of text, form controls and buttons.

Carolyn,
I don't know if this is the problem, but we had content disappear in older
versions of Jaws when using a single stylesheet for both print and screen
styles. Jaws would not see content hidden in the print section of the style
sheet. Also you may want to check how the links are done. Are they
controlled by JavaScript and only appear after some event on the page (i.e.
the textbox text is not empty).
Hope this helps,
Steve

One site I go on a lot is www.surveyspot.com. Actually this is the
particular website I'm trying to access. I've noticed that when I go
there from Yahoo, instead of the surveyspot website, I get some strange
address and Jaws says "No Links".

That is very interesting (I work for Yahoo)
could you give any more details? when you say 'from Yahoo' - what do
you mean exactly?
