You know, it's funny that we both should offer exactly the very same solutions to your problem Kerri. Tim, I can confirm your suspicions that CNIB is pretty much unfamiluar with the Mac, Voice Over and how we use it. Their only suggestion was for Kerri to use Crome. How do I know? It's just that she told me herself via Facetime. Also, I actually got access to the text of their response which they sent to her. Kerri, it seems to me that Tim's solutions should work for you: especially the Option+return or enter key. I strongly suspect it's a web coding issue at work here. What makes me think this is the frank and rather surprising admition that at one time JAWS users had the same issue. So far as I am concerned, the issue is more on their end and not yours. I think it's got to come down to making sure that their HTML is correctly written. Would you not agree?
