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.
