Jack,

Best I can remember, when you first tab to your combo box, hold down the alt
key and hit the down arrow key. This will open the list in the combo box.
Then, you use the down and up arrow keys to move down or up in the combo
box. When you get to the choice you want, either hold down the alt key and
hit your up arrow key to close the box or hit the tab key to invoke the
choice.

Hi Everyone,
I've been running into something on more and more web sites that is very
annoying.  When you have to make a choice in a combo box on a web page, you
can't see what's in the list of choices.
If you try to arrow down, it automatically  goes to the first one as if
you've chosen it.
Is there any way to view the list of choices before it goes to that page?  I
don't know if this is a jaws issue, or it has something to do with IE6.
Jack
