Does the print dialog box in the USA differ from the rest of world

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X

G’day from Oz.

I’m helping a bloke in the good ol USA with some GUI scripting, but we seem to be having a problem.

My print dialog sheet in textedit , and in the general print dialog window, takes 3 tab presses to move from the initial ‘Copies’ field to the first ‘Pages’ ‘From’ field.

He maintains his dialog boxes only take 1 tab to do the same, yet when I alter my script to accomodate this fact, it doesn’t seem to work.

Can someone in the good ol’ US of A tell me accurately how many tabs their print dialog windows take please.

Regards

Santa

At the bottom of System Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts is the option to have the Tab button move the keyboard focus between either:

Text boxes and lists only
or
All controls.

If Text boxes…" is selected, it takes one tab, if “all controls” is selected, it takes three tabs.
