when i send several Tab keys after page is loaded - it works ok. But my enter key does not work.... Anything i am missing? thanks

I am not sure what do you mean by sending "Tab key" ? The script is completely automated (you don't need to press any key after running it), but you won't really be able to use your computer (at least the same X windows session) for anything else while it's running.

When script loads the page I send tab Key within the script everything is automatic no manual interactions . But enter key doesn't work after that. This only case with Chrome browser and not Firefox. Thanks

Hi Abiyani, basically "xdotool key Tab Tab Tab Return" works with Firefox but not with chrome. Tabs work fine for both but Return works only in Firefox. Is there a different way in chrome to send Return command in chrome.....? Could you please try this yourself? that would be highly appreciated..... Thanks

The script doesn't use "Tab" key anywhere. If it is an xdotool specific question, you can try asking on their mailing list. My hunch is that Return is probably not what you expect, and you instead need KP_Enter or something else (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/xdotool-users/oV40iJbLfJ8).
