Hi Ash & all,
Pressing enter on the heading will work if I just tab from the top of the page into the search results, but if I jump to the results heading using VO command h, and then VO right arrow to the headings, enter will usually activate a link further up the page. Strange, but David's advice to interact with the heading does work. 

Thanks,

Russell

Hi Russell,

I normally use enter to activate a link, this normally works for me.
I think the reason the tab key stays at the top of the page is because the keyboard isn't following the voiceover cursor, but i'm not really sure. I have the same problem, but use the tab key to find links anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me. Pressing enter on the headings should work for you though. 

Hope this helps,

Subject: [macvoiceover] Safari question



Hi all,

I am having a problem in Safari.  Here's what's happening...

In Google, I'll search for something.  After I choose the "Search"
button, I press VO Command H twice to get to the search results
heading.  I can then VO right arrow to move through the results, but
pressing VO space doesn't seemto activate the link.  So, I try to
press the tab key to move to the link, and am placed back close to the 
top of the page and must tab quite a few times to get back to the
search results.

So, I guess my question is two fold:

1. Why isn't VO space activating the link?
2. Why doesn't pressing tab move to the next link on the page rather
than jumping up closeto the top of the page?

Thanks for any and all help,

Russell
