Re: XHTML tab order and Flash

I am using the same Firefox version as Deb, but am not using a screen reader
or aid of any sort.

I too however, lose control of the tab when I proceed to the Flash object
(no visual indicator that the Flash object is in focus) ... rather than
tabbing from the previous tabindex in the html to the first Flash link, it
would appear the first tab to Flash does not proceed to select the first
Flash link as it does in IE. Perhaps this is similar to what Deb is
experiencing.

Now this would be fine I think, but only if an indication could be sent to
Firefox users (visual or verbal) that the Flash object is now in focus.
Anybody know how to overcome this problem?
