    It looks like it’s working fine to me (tested only in Chrome). It’s hard to see that it’s worked, because there’s no focus state on the first tab stops after moving into the main content – the promos on the left – but the focus is being moved as expected.

    I figured it out it was the smooth scrolling that was messing it up, I fixed the jquery so that it animates then changes the focus to the right target which fixed the problem.

    Yes, smooth scrolling is a common cause of problems, since smooth scroll scripts usually override the focus change in order to animate the position. Glad you got it figured out!
