[Njtechdiv] obtaining addresses from links

[Mario Brusco]

Lois, in my example, using Firefox, the "copy link location" command is 
not present, nor is the "Copy shortcut" command present if I try using 
Internet Explorer.

I don't understand why the commands don't show up in the example website 
I gave, because the commands do show up if I want the address behind the 
link to download the latest version of JAWS on the Freedom Scientific 
website.

referring to the problem, could it be the website that is not allowing 
this due to it's structuring?

In Firefox, the "copy link location" command (hot-key is "a") will put
the url on the clipboard. In IE, the keystroke from the context menu is
"t" (copy shortcut). These work in the versions I have of those browsers.

I want to be able to retrieve the address from a link in a website using
Firefox and Internet Explorer. I recall there was a way but had
forgotten how to do it.
I bring it up because it is possible in Thunderbird by right clicking a
link in an email message and entering on the appropriate command, but FF
and IE doesn't currently have such a command in the context menu... or
does it?

for example, I want to grab the address behind the download link for one
of the podcasts at:
   http://www.radiolab.org/series/podcasts/
