[NFBCS] JAWS with Bootstrap modal dialogs

A couple more things to try:  Press JAWSKEY plus 3 which sends the next character to the application.  Select the link you want, press JAWSKEY+3 and then space to see if that triggers it.  

If not, try JAWSKEY+3 and then ENTER.  If neither of these options work, you might try the Touch Cursor.  Sometimes this finds things that one does not find in other ways.  Press SHIFT+NUMPAD PLUS to turn on the Touch Cursor and explore with the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys.  If you find the link, press ENTER on it.  Pressing the NUMPAD PLUS twice will return you to the normal operation.

Have you tried turning off the virtual cursor with insert+z, then tabbing to the link and pressing enter on it? You can turn virtual mode back on with another press of the insert+z key combination.

The other thing I'd try is to find the link with the jaws cursor, and clicking it through there. You may need to use OCR for that to work. Also, make sure the window is maxumized first.

Also, which browser are you using? 
Good luck.
