it might not be labeled correctly. sometimes there is just a number or it may 
be called something completely illogical.  try doing a find control f for face 
book or changing verbosity settings for  reading html tags.

  Subject: I Can't Locate a Particular Tab Using JAWS


  Dear Listers:

  I am unable to locate a particular tab using JAWS.  Am I doing something 
wrong or using the wrong keystroke, or is the tab just not accessible?

  I am a subscriber to the Blue Mountain e-card service, and have recently 
learned that you can send one of their e-cards on Facebook.  The instructions 
telling how to do this are as follows:

  First, sign in to your Blue Mountain membership, which I can do with ease.

  Next, locate the e-card you wish to send and click the "personalize and 
send," button, which I can also do using JAWS.

  Next, click on the "send to Facebook," tab, which is just above "personalize 
your e-card."  This is where I am running into trouble.  I have no trouble 
locating the "personalize your e-card," header by just hitting the letter H 
until JAWS speaks it.  But when I use the Up Arrow key after locating the 
"personalize your e-card," header, JAWS does not speak "send to Facebook," at 
all.  I have tried to use the Control+Tab keystroke, but nothing happens.  I've 
even tried using the JAWS cursor at the top of the "personalize," page, but 
with no luck.  Am I doing something wrong, or is this tab just not accessible 
to JAWS 11?  Can one of you listers help me out?

  Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas!!
