Abstract: A method for navigating a web page with directional keys is provided where the page is scanned for a next closest element along a predetermined search path in the direction of a selected arrow key. In this regard, the search path can be defined as a tunnel or a cone. If the next closest element is not found, the search path is enlarged by a certain increment and scanning is repeated. This process repeats until a next closest element is found. If a next closest element does not exist in the direction of the selected arrow key, scanning will wrap around the page and continue to the opposite side of the page in the direction of the originally selected arrow key.
