<p>Navigating elements on web pages with the Tab key is a useful feature in most web browsers, but since the release of Mac OS X <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/mac-os-x-10-7/">Lion</a> the new default behavior in Safari seems to limit what the tab key selects on a page. Here’s how to <em>enable tab key navigation across all actionable elements on a webpage</em>:</p>

<ul>

<li>From the Safari menu pull down and select “Preferences”</li>

<li>Click on the “Advanced” icon and check the box next to “Press tab to highlight each item on a webpage”</li>

</ul>

<p>Note the sub-text points out that if you press Option+Tab then you will select only the text input boxes and menu items, which is the default behavior of Safari and Chromes tab key navigation.</p>
