This doesn't seem to work when the IDs are not ordinal. In my case the IDs are
not 1,2,3...n and I don't know what they are, I just know that there are N
children. For what I'm doing the accNavigate does seem to work ok. It's odd
that Jaws doesn't give you a way to locate the "Nth" child though.

Or:
let o = o.accChild(1).accChild(n)
