If you use SWT Browser widget within an SWT application, there is no visual focus indicator for this widget.
You can tab into the browser, but you won`t see the current position of your cursor.

According to IBM Accessibility check-list, there should be a visual focus indicator for every object:

Some pages like eclipse.org don't show focus, while other pages like google.com do.  Regardless, stand-alone IE shows the equivalent behaviour in both cases (tried with IE8 and IE9), so this problem resides in their embedded web browser control.  Closing report as NOT_ECLIPSE.

This may be a dup of bug 340729 (or vice-versa).
I am not sure if bug 236960 might be a clue (i.e. maybe it depends on what the browser is showing).
