Let me go into more depth.

Tabindex is the attribute which effects tab order. If this is set to 0, then the way in which the page is loaded into the browser is the tab order. If a positive value is used which is a WCAG 2.1 failure. Then the focus order will change. If a button is activated and this shows new content. Depending on how the developer has developed the page. The content could appear at the bottom of the virtual buffer (been inserted at the end of the dom) or inserted after the button. So the next item Jaws sees is the new content which is correct behaviour. The page should never use a positive value to achieve tab order as it breaks things very quickly. The difference between simple and document mode for Jaws is if the link and other elements are presented on their own lines or not. The default document view you will have links and other elements on different lines when using the down arrow. In document view, the link will be a part of the paragraph text. The tab order is still the same. A lot of web sites use a tabindex -1 to change the tab order of items depending on what you have done on the page. Sean

Jaws does not interfere with what the browser does with tab. On Sun, 26 Apr 2020 02:39:54 -0400, Sean Murphy wrote: document object model has been built.

If you have a line of text with a link in it. Jaws will read the whole line and announces the link as part of it. In simple layout, the first part of the line is spoken, then the link, then the remaining part of the line. Tab, you are going vertical on the page. This surprised me since I had been pictureing tabbing as going horizontally across a page, like with the old school typewriters. This comes from being pretty much self taught and having a lot of questions like this and not having any real teaching about computers or Jaws until I found the Jaws-Users group. change the default Jaws navigation from vertical to horizontal when tabbing? I don't have any sight at all so I can't tell. pee it cleans the toilet. the same results as you did. We must be missing something.
