Hello Prateek, There are a couple things you might consider. First of all, if you press CTRL+9 you will move the focus directly to the web page. This will often work faster than using f6 or tabbing.
You can set Internet Explorer to open in full screen mode. Choose full screen under the view menu and then close the browser. When you open the browser again, it will be running in full screen mode. However, I found that when using a blank starting page the focus still went to the address bar. When using a web page that isn't blank in full screen mode the focus went to the body of the page as you would expect. In full screen mode you can still access menus and use hotkeys. You can also use F11 to turn on full screen mode. You can run the browser in Kiosk mode. In Kiosk mode most hotkeys will work but you cannot access a menu bar. However, when a blank page is your starting page, it will load as expected and not go directly to the address bar. Use the run dialog box to use the Kiosk mode. Use Windows key+R to bring up the run dialog box. Type in "IExplore -K" without the quotes. If you press enter you will be taken to your start page. If the page is blank there will be nothing to access. Again, you can use hotkeys to open pages and perform other actions but you won't be able to use the menu bar. There is a context menu with limited choices on it when in Kiosk mode. In the run dialog box you can also follow the IExplore -K command with a space and a specific address to open. You might find that just pressing CTRL+f9 will work for what you are wanting to do. Take care.

Using Jaws 11 on both an XP as well as a Win7 PC, each time I start up IE8 (which is set to 'blank' as my home page for faster loading of IE8), type a URL to go to upon loading that web page the JAWS virtual PC cursor always lands on the title bar. Then I have to tab few times to go through the tool bar, menu bar, the annoying bing default bar and such before I can actually land on the web page pane and start to read the page. How can I set either IE8 or JAWS11 so the virtual PC cursor lands directly on the web page pane so I can start reading the page right away?
