Using the Tab Key to Navigate Links on our Site
If you cannot use a mouse, you can use the "Tab" key to navigate the links of a page on our website. This will enable you to jump between links from the top of the page to the bottom.
The following instructions are based on Internet Explorer -
1. When viewing a page, press the "Tab" key down until the link you are interested in using is highlighted. The first link that is highlighted in this process will be the web address at the top of the page.2. In Internet Explorer, links that are highlighted will appear with dotted lines around them. Please note: Not all browsers will show a highlighted link in this way.3. Once you reach the link you want to use, hit the "enter" key to access it.4. If you miss a link, hold down the "Shift" key and press the "Tab" key, you will jump back through the links, going up the page instead of down. Again press "Enter" when you reach the link you want to access.
If you have any feedback please use the the details at the bottom of this page to contact us by telephone or online.
