Hi Anne, I also have my Tab key set to highlight every item on a web-age. Off- hand, I can't describe a specific instance where tab has taken me somewhere that the arrow keys didn't, but it's happened on Facebook, it's happened in the Itunes store, and I think other sites as well. I'll try and pay more attention to specific instances when this occurs so that I can describe them in a future post. Thanks, Donna On Jan 3, 2010, at 11:42 AM, Anne Robertson wrote:
