Thanks Sarah - I'll try the vo f as an alternative search method. I'm still struggling with the Internet on the Mac. I'm focussing mostly on the BBC here in the UK, as that is where I do a lot of my catching up on radio I missed during the week.

For example, on:

www.bbc.co.uk/4extra

I couldn't find the schedule link very easily, but I was using command f to search for it. I also used the web rowter to try and find it in links or headings, but it wasn't there, even though I know such a link exists as I've used it for years on a Winndows machine.

After some good initial early progress, progress has slowed down a bit in my Mac learning -

I can't help with the find command as I use vo f to do my search. then vo g and vo shift g to look. but I can say this.

Just look for the sign in link or log in link if you loved out or signed out.

Take care.

Hi all -

If I use command f for find, when on a webpage, I never seem to get any results, even though I know what I am looking for is there. I enter text, and nothing happens, not by pressing vo space, or hitting enter. Anybody give me some pointers to making the find/search option work? Also, when logging out of some websites, especially banking ones, I'd like some spoken confirmation that I had logged out successfully, can I do anything to get this info spoken to me the way JAWS use to?

Thanks -

Andy
