Simon, I would take a close look on the help topic, "Using JAWS and the Internet". To do this: 1. Focus to the JAWS window with insert J. 2. Press F1 to open the JAWS help system. 3. In the contents tree view, press enter to open the book, "Using JAWS and the Internet" 4. Read all the topics listed. I can say, however, that navigating web pages is just like navigating a Word document. So up and down moves you line by line, left and right character by character, enter will activate links and form fields when focused on them, etc. Hope that helps.
