Well, before installing Safari 3, I would have said that it was easy
to get around web pages. Now, though, it seems like I am having
problems similar to yours.
I have the three cursors synchronized so that the keyboard focus and
the mouse cursor follow the VO cursor, but the VO cursor does not
follow the other two. That had worked beautifully before I installed
Safari 3.
I'm going to give it a couple more days to see if maybe it's just a
matter of getting used to doing things differently, but if I can't
get Safari 3 to work reliably for me, I'm going to re-install Safari 2.
Good luck with your own efforts, and please pass on any thing you
come across that improves your Safari-3 experience.

Hey there, o you understand where my problem is?
It just seems that web pages are a royal mess in terms of getting
around. It's kind of like a crap shoot in terms of where you will
find stuff.
The reason i mention windows, it was real cut and dry where stuff
was if this makes any sense.
How do you have yours set up?

Pressing F8 opens the VoiceOver Utilities, from which you can set
navigation preferences. Among such preferences are those that
determine whether the mouse, VoiceOver, and keyboard focus cursors
follow each other. For example, you could set the mouse and
keyboard focus to track the VO cursor.

i have never set cursor tracking. Explain a little more about
this. I'm still a little rusty when it comes to safari.
Any help would be appreciated. See, the only thing i can think
about is windows, cause that is all i have used.
It is very different navigating around web pges.
Bringing up the links is the easy part, but i can't seem to find
text and stuff like that.
There are groups of stuff, that's what i can't grasp the concept of
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Are you able to move around with VO and the left- and right-
arrow keys? How do you have cursor tracking set in VO utilities?
That is, which cursor (s) track which?

Just a thought, but was anyone on Tiger running Safari 3
successfully?
I don't think you would have this problem if you were using
Safari 3
and Leopard.

Hello list,
I am still using Tiger and just upgraded to Safari 3. I am not
finding it as VO-friendly as previous versions. When I try to
navigate around on a web page, VoiceOver skips items, boots me
over
to the back and forward buttons, etc. This does not appear to be
specific to a particular website; it occurs in Google results
pages,
on the NPR website, as well as on other pages. I don't know if I
need to set particular safari or VoiceOver preferences, so I
really
could use some help. If I can't figure this out, I'm afraid I'm
going to have to go back to Safari 2.
Thank you.
