In VoiceOver you would open the Rotor (Control + Option + U) and then
navigate left or right to the Headings list. In iOS devices, you would
perform the rotor action (twist two fingers left or right) to select
headings and then swipe up or down to navigate by headings.

I updated these resources to indicate that the Elements List will show
links, headings, and landmarks.

Which browsers allow you to bring up a list of headings in the
page, if you don't have any screenreader?
As far as I can tell, Firefox can do it with the UIUC add-on.
Opera can navigate from header to header but can't give you a
list. Can any of the other browsers?
This comes up for me fairly frequently, actually, because if I am
posting on a blog site or someplace else where I don't control
the greater page framework, but I want to put headers within my
particular post, I want to know what is the level of header
directly above my post, so I can put the right levels within my
own text. I haven't figured out a way to do it outside of
Firefox.

Hi,
Apparently, I missed this message two weeks ago...

In Window-Eyes, you can press Insert + Tab to bring up the page
navigation dialog. You can then choose which type of elements you
want to see: the list of tables, the list of headings, etcetera.
Deborah Kaplan also asked: "Which browsers allow you to bring up a

Opera can navigate from header to header but can't give you a list.
Can any of the other browsers?"
I raised this question a few months ago on the WAI-IG mailing list:
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/2011JulSep/0177.html>;
Opera and UIUC's FAE extension for Firefox
<http://firefox.cita.uiuc.edu/>; were the only solutions that came up.
(When using the FAE extension's shortcuts for heading navigation, you
need to configure it in a way that doesn't cause conflicts with
Firefox' Find-as-you-type feature.)
John Foliot also described a hack for Firefox, but this should be
used with caution:
