[JAWSLite] Re: jaws 7 & ie7 and combo box problem

Hi list,

    I am having the same problem with JAWS 9.0, but only on my Internet 
Banking web site. If I press alt Down Arrow, the cursor just stays on the 
first item in the list and it doesn't matter how many times I press alt Down 
Arrow, it still stays on that first item in the list. However, if I just 
press Down Arrow once, it goes down to the second item in the list, then I 
hear a click and it goes to the web page named in that second choice. I 
can't seem to find a solution to this problem.

    Regards,

    Don
