Arrowing or tabbing is the last methods folks should use on a web page,

unless you have all day to spend looking for something. You only arrow when you get to the section of the page that is of interest, and since most pages now have hundreds of tabs available, so tabbing around is not really a good option either. Twenty years ago when web pages were relatively simple, tabbing and arrowing were acceptable methods of navigation, but there is just too much to make that viable. Insert + F5 will list about anything available, such as edit fields, links, combo boxes and buttons. Glenn

Pressing B gives me nothing. And I get a message telling me there is an error with my order and to check back later. That’s mostly with Firefox. With Internet Explorer, I have some trouble but can generally put it through—but I’m concerned about how much longer we will be able to use IE. I can’t figure out what’s going on and did call the accessibility phone number, but they can’t figure out what’s happening. I just wanted to know if any of you are having the same problem. Thanks. I just placed a large order, and this time it went through after two tries. Success!

When I am in my cart I just use “b” for buttons and it takes me directly to the “Proceed to Checkout” button. Once I activate it, all my information is there, shipping address, the card I have used last time and literally all that is left to do is to again use the button quick nav key until I get to “Place your order”, I press enter and that’s it, a few seconds later I get the thank-you for shopping at Amazon message and seconds later my email dings with the order confirmation email. In my opinion Amazon has made an art of quick online checkout. You may want to look at enabling one-click checkout. Of course if I want to select a different address or credit card I have to do this before I click “Place my order”. If you have an Amazon Echo speaker you can also set up voice purchasing. I just tried this, I had 5 items in my cart, but a few of them I just put in there for later so I activated the “Save for Later” button. After I had only the 2 items in my cart which I wanted now I asked my Echo Dot “What’s in my cart”. It told me I had 2 items and what they were, then I told it to “Place my order”. I was prompted for my voice code which I previously set up in the Alexa app (you can add this or disable it), after I spoke my 4-digit code Alexa said “I placed your order”, of course it used my default shipping address and credit card, it also told me the total and that was it.

It doesn’t have everything the main site has. But I’m finding it harder to check out once I find what I want. But I can still muddle through. Just takes me longer than it used to.

When I use Firefox, I get to the checkout part and I get a message that says there was an error. When I use IE I can get through it, but it still seems more difficult. Anyone else notice this? Thanks. Shirley
