[nfbcs] A Job Search Site Using Jaws

[Jim Fettgather]

Thanks for the suggestion, Shift Enter will not force that darn page to open in a new window, and I do not know why that is.

Does the link open in a new window if you use shift-enter on it, instead of just enter?  I often use shift-enter to get a site in a new window, when I'm googling or whatever.
HTH.

Hello to the list.
I like to use the Indeed.com web site so that clients may learn how to perform job searches using Jaws 2018 or Jaws 2019.
After executing the job search, all of the job listings may be accessed using the Headings command, the letter H, which lands on each result which is also a link.
Now, here is where the problem occurs.
After executing the link,  in the past, the detailed job info would open in a new window, making it a very seamless and simple experience to read the job details, and to locate the Apply link.
Now, using Firefox, or Chrome, or Internet Explorer, when activating the link, a new window no longer opens, Jaws remains silent, but the pertinent information is way way down on the page, pressing the letter N will eventually find the newly displayed information, but it is very confusing for the client.
I have had the exact same experience with simplyhired.com I am hoping that there is a better web site to use, or to somehow tell these web browsers that we want a link to open in a new window when activated, instead of displaying the relevant information further down on the same page.
Any suggestions will be highly welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks..
