The actual example uses the DHTML roadmap and navigates the tabs using arrow keys. The user would use the tab key to navigate to the tab panel control, then arrow between the actual tabs. Pressing tab again would leave the tab panel (with the current panel still active) and navigate to the next item with a tab stop on the page (in Gez's example this would be the first field in the form). Does the following help to clarify? A tab panel user interface is implemented within a delivery unit. The tab panel consists of 5 tabs, each with a different title and content. For example, US News, World News, Weather, Entertainment, and Humor. As the user navigates from tab to tab using the arrow keys, the contents of the delivery unit are updated to reflect the selected tab. For example, when the user navigates to the Humor tab, A short account of an interesting or humorous incident is made visible in the tab panel, replacing the previous contents of the panel. This is the expected behavior of a tab panel user interface. The tab key can be used to navigate from the tab panel control to other elements on the page.
