Thank you, Sabahattin, for your thoughtful reply. I checked and unchecked the "Group items within" checkbox under the "VoiceOver Utility -> Web -> Navigation -> Navigating Web Tables" item, and the little table was still locked. That is, pressing "VO-left" and "VO-right" produced no results. As I said, pressing the "Tab" key gave access to all sorts of links and other form controls. I am going to subscribe to your theory of the misbehaving table and hope that when I upgrade to El Capitan, something I am reluctant to do right now, that the problem will go away. I may try updating to the latest version of Safari; I am currently running Version 8.0.8. I should add something that you already probably have guessed: the page can be easily navigated under iOS 9.2. I am easily resisting the temptation to turn my Mac into a Windows machine to test this page because I am a new user and because this page is the only one I have found that behaves in this peculiar way.
