Nice... thank you... and of course now I remember having known that before.. Here is a harder one: or will move focus from hyperlink to hyperlink in firefox. I thought that would activate hyperlinks focused using tab as above. The firefox list of keyboard shortcuts (in its help file) does not appear to show a keyboard shortcut that activates a hyperlink. On many webpages... the enter key DOES activate the hyperlinks... but not at the URL below... for me. http://www.lynda.com/home/ViewCourses.aspx?lpk0=395 It may be related to the fact that I currently have an account there and my browser is recognized as being a subscribed users browser... but far as I know those particular links are just navigational and are open to the public. And anyway... is it even possible for a site to do something to cause the enter key not to activate hyperlinks? I'd be curious to hear if your browser can activate those links (with enter key or any other combo you can find). (The ones pertaining to After Effects - Just to limit the scope a bit)
