Don't think this can be done in Macro Scheduler, unless.......

Could you open the page source code and do a find for "a href=" and then play a wav file if located? Could also consider a text to speech tool to "speak" the value of the "a href" link.

Or perhaps you can use the Microsoft object that you located and put that into some type of Microsoft script that is called in a batch file with Macro Scheduler?

No real answer yet, just trying to brainstorm a little bit..........

Uf.

Very dificult for this man open the source code.
At the moment I have changed de houre gass for a very luminosous spot, and so he can observe that point.

Can it help you?

How Windows Xp know that te cursor is over a link? perhaps in a registry?

Other thing, He is using a browser called "Avant Browser" and no use Microsoft script

Waiting your answer..

It is possible to determine which link the cursor is over using the Document Object Model of Internet Explorer but it is complicated and you will be very restricted trying to do it with just VBScript. To do properly you will need to code this using a full programming language such as C++. You either need to build a Browser Helper Object or create your own IE container web browser. In short this is pretty much beyond the capabilities of Macro Scheduler.

Well, don't worry. He is fine with the luminous spot as the "hand cursor"

Thank you

If He Is Using Windows XP Has He Looked At The Built In Narrator?

Another Browser He Could Use Is Fast Browser, Which Will Read Out The Text On A Webpage, However It Will Not Tell You What Your Hovering Over.
