Re: navigating html tables

HI,

IE works more stable.
The indsæt+skift, home, end pageUp, PageDown commands works sometimes, but not everytime. It is hard to say why and also to reproduce the problems. 

I tried with
http://www.freedomscientific.com/Training/Surfs-Up/Tables.htm

Fs should be able to find some of the problems on this page.

Subject: re: navigating html tables
To add to my original post - is it possible the keyboard commands listed in Jaws help for navigating tables on the web only work in IE? I'm using Firefox. An example of keystrokes listed in Jaws help that aren't working for me are: 

insert + shift + home/page up = beginning/end of row
insert + shift + end/page down = beginning/end of column
alt + ctrl + num pad 5 = speaks row and column number and also reads row and column header title
The only keystroke command that worked for me was the one bringing you to the next table cell to left, right, above, or below. If there are different keystrokes for FF and somebody knows them, please let me know, or if anyone can confirm they can navigate html tables OK with these commands in IE, that would also be good to know as I may have a version of IE kicking around somewhere in my computer.

I am not doing too well trying to learn how to navigate tables on a web-page. I found keyboard shortcuts in Jaws help, but have only had success with alt + ctrl + arrow to go to an adjoining table cell, but would certainly like to at a minimum also have some working keystrokes for getting quickly to the beginning or end of a row or column, or speaking the row and column number. When I try these html table shortcuts on the internet, they're not working for me. (They also seem difficult to reach with only two hands, having three would be a lot nicer.)
Also, I occasionally hear Jaws say "not in table" and am not sure how best to get the focus right.
An example of a web-page that I have troubles with would be a Google Docs spreadsheet, but naturally there are tables on many other web-sites as well. 

I am using Jaws 10.

Thanks,
Michael
