This series of radio buttons determines what information JAWS speaks when a text-based link is encountered. The following options are available:
Use Title: When this option is selected, JAWS first looks for and speaks information provided by the HTML Title attribute. This text is not displayed on the screen. If no Title text is found, JAWS reads the on screen text.
Use Screen Text: JAWS reads the on screen text. This is the default option.
Use On Mouse Over Tooltip: When this option is selected, JAWS looks for "OnMouseOver quoted text" and speaks it. "OnMouseOver" attributes are often used to run script functions to display ttool tips containing useful information. If no OnMouseOver quoted text is found, JAWS speaks the on screen text for the link. "OnMouseOver quoted text" is text provided through a function in the "OnMouseOver" HTML attribute, in the form of: OnMouseOver="myfunction('information about link')". If more complex script code is referenced in the "OnMouseOver" attribute, the information is ignored.
Use Longest: JAWS speaks the longest string of information for each link. Custom Search String: This option allows you to specify the order in which JAWS searches for information about links. Once this option is selected, the Define Text Link Search Order edit field is enabled, and is used to specify the custom search order.
