Hi,
I just want to add some things here.

Using just the keystroke of F on IE moves the cursor to input form fields. 
This may include buttons and blank fields. As someone stated if a person 
wants to navigate in IE using just the E key would get you to the next edit 
field and the B key would move you to the next button. Please note: these 
keystrokes only worked for me in version 7.1. When testing in version 5.1 
the E key moves the cursor to the end of a list, table, or element.

For instance, I tested this on my home page of google. By hitting just the F 
key my cursor moved from the edit field where you enter the search 
parameters to the search button and next to the I'm feeling lucky button and 
back again. By just hitting the E key the cursor would only move to the edit 
field to enter search parameters.

Don't forget that most buttons on a web page are considered input fields. 
That is why the F key moves to them

The keystroke of control + f can only be used in IE. According to the help 
it invokes the IE find dialogue.

The keystroke of insert + control + f invokes the jaws find dialogue which 
is slightly different. The help menu does say that using an application find 
or search may give more extensive results.

Please note: I only have versions 7.1 and 5.1 to test these results. I am 
also using XP home with IE 6.

  control f is the jaws find the letter f on it's own takes you to each form 
field on the page.

  f
  is for jaws find, but I'm specifically looking for an edit form field on 
the
  internet and I quite can't remember the key stroke for that
  Cheers
