Hi Donna, I have found that using VO command J produces better, more consistent, results than using tab when trying to navigate a page by its control elements like, edit fields, buttons, etc. This along with VO command L to navigate by links, has made surfing the web on my Mac a lot more enjoyable. At first I found my self missing key information on pages which caused my blood pressure to rise and my hairline to recede. lol
