I faced these the other day on a web site, which uses rich text edit areas for all of their posting areas. I was able to type into the edit area, but then when I attempted to post, VO was not behaving properly and I could not figure out where the post button was. Also, when I tried to get back into the text area, I couldn't. It was exceedingly frustrating. I gave up, and wrote to the moderator of the site, but I don't know what will come of it. Christine
