Thanks Doug for the response. But I use Firefox. I'll give IE a try and see
if it works better. Maybe I won't have this problem once my notebook updates
to windows ten. I'm still using Vista on a laptop which is where I'm having
this problem of landing on the previous link and I think IE is a older
version that won't upgrade beyond 9.

Brice,
This is a function of the browser. No matter how you get to a page,
Window-Eyes will start at the focused element. Most times when you hit
enter on a link and then go back to the page with that link the browser
will focus the link...sighted people want this as well. But, I've seen
IE get into a state where it won't focus the previous link. Even
without Window-Eyes I've seen this. I was never able to figure out what
specific setting was causing IE to stop doing this...or maybe there was
some sort of corruption. But I believe I fixed it by going to IE's
Internet Options dialog, selecting the Advanced tab, tabbing to the
Reset button and resetting all of IE's defaults. Once I did this and
restarted IE, it started focusing the link when I went back...both with
and without Window-Eyes. So I would give that a try.

Okay, I must have confused some of you. I have no problem going to the
previous page. The problem is, once back on the previous page, I don't
land on the link that I last click on! I'm placed back at the top of
the page, have to hit tab key until I hear a click, then I have to hit
H or L until I get back to the link I had click on. This has been
going on for the last 2 major upgrades. My personal opinion is web
access and functionality has digressed. I'd like to know how you all
get beyond that last link instead of going through links you've
already passed over?

Bey, Bryce.
I found out accidentally that the backspace key will also take you to
the
previous page. Try that, and, try using the WE redraw hot key, and,
the F5
refresh key. Sometimes I have to resort to opening the history dialog
and
finding my way back that way.

Lou N.

When hitting enter on a link and going to that page,how do you get
back to
the previous link? Hitting alt left arrow hasn't work the way it use
to for
a long time. I had a work around by copying the link to the clipboard
then
hit enter on the link. When I wanted to go back to the previous link,
I'd
hit alt left arrow, once I was back at the previous page, I'd hit shift
control F and paste the link from the clipboard and hit enter and
I'd be
back at the previous link. This hasn't worked in the last 2 versions of
wineyes. Using current version of FX and wineyes. Vista home.
