Exercise: Go to Yahoo.com and repeatedly press the TAB key. Pay attention to what happens on the screen. When you first land on the page the cursor will be in the search field at the top, and with each press of the Tab Key a dotted outline will move through the page to every element that is hyperlinked, until it runs out of hyperlinks and comes back around to the beginning again. Press the hold Shift and press Tab and the same thing happens except it goes backwards.
