Sorry, when I first sent this I left out one key part: I was using the middle choice of example pages: the one with HTML 4.01 and the 'title' on the page part, not on the 'link' element.

So please test and comment on the extension. I am getting behavior I can't explain. When I use the 'move to' button in the Accessibility:navigation:table of contents menu, the intended area as a whole changes highlight but remains highlighted (as when that item is selected in the ToC menu). That seem to be what you want. Then if I TAB I expect it to move the focus to the first focusable entity in the currently focused region. Not so. Using the Table of Contents in the Navigation tool to move to the "contact info" section, and then hitting a TAB brings up the right thing, the email link, in the status bar at the foot of the window. But it does not do the right thing in terms of making that link the target of ENTER events. At the same time as the bogus email-link URL shows up in the status bar, the address field in the chrome is highlighted and if I hit ENTER the event goes there and reloads the current page. That's as close to successful operation, in terms of actually moving the focus so that one can subsequently move the focus forward and back with TAB, shift-TAB; or justDoIt with ENTER. Al I don't know if this extension version requires a different Firefox. What I have identifies itself as: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2 And the extension identifies itself as: Mozilla Accessibility Extension 0.98.2.1277 > >Thanks, >Jon > > >Jon Gunderson, Ph.D., ATP >Director of IT Accessibility Services >Campus Information Technologies and Educational Services (CITES) >and >Coordinator of Assistive Communication and Information Technology >Disability Resources and Education Services (DRES) > >Voice: (217) 244-5870 >Fax: (217) 333-0248 > >E-mail: jongund@uiuc.edu > >WWW: http://cita.rehab.uiuc.edu/ >WWW: https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/jongund/www/
