I know this may be a little obvious, but have you tried turning "Quick Nav" 
off, when in the edit fields on a web page. 
Later.

  Oh. Ok then. I guess it won't help me any. Anyone have a suggestion for 
another browser I might try that will work with VoiceOver?

        Chrome Canary runs on the same Web Kit engine as Safari, so you will 
have the same results with websites.   The regular Google Chrome with ChromeVox 
is different.  It its still not ready fro prime time, but definitely works well 
with Google Docs.

      I use lightning myself. it works on the same engine as safari but it 
works a lot faster on some sights like my podcasting one.



      I tried crome but it didn't work all that well and I think that was 
sometime this year.



      Take care all.

        Excellent. I'm looking forward to trying it. I have trouble on some 
sites with safari, and I'm hoping maybe this will work better for me. Thanks 
for talking about it. I had not heard of this particular one before and I'm 
always hesitant to try browsers and things until I hear from others what 
experience they've had. I'd say I'm kind of a medium skill computer person and 
so I don't often get adventurous unless I have reason to believe I should be 
able to work things out. (smile)

          Holy dynomite! does, it, ever!  I'd very highly suggest doing a 
google search for:



          download+google canary



          It should be the first result that pops up.



          then use your vo commands, and find the button that says something to 
the effect of agree and download.



          then just open the dmg and install it like normal.



          If you wanna set it as your default browser like I did, then oddly 
enough, go into Safari, and hit command+comma, then go to the general tab.  In 
there, there's a popup button which'll let you select google Canary as the 
default.  I dono why you have to do it that way, but it works, trust me.



          You can! install Chromvox from the Chrome Store, but I couldn't seem 
to get the thing to work correctly.  I got it installed, and talking, but when 
I hit the modifier key which is basically your vo keys: control and option, I 
get nothing with the other keys.  It's totally strange.  I'm telling you 
though, it works flawlessly! with voiceover by itself right outta the box.  
Just navigate the same way you would in Safari, and explore your menu bar.



          It works very very nicely!



          Chris.
