This is a problem for a work combo box so I cannot provide an URL but I think we have all encountered this. This combo box is a "quick links" box with about 30 items inside it. I press forms mode, then try to use the arrow keys to move however, what ever item I land on first opens, so I can never see what the options are in the box. First letter navigation will open some items but if there are let's say several items that begin with H the first one opens and I may have needed the third item. I am fairly certain there is a way to handle this but am drawing a blank on how to navigate this particular type of combo box, wish they all worked normally, allowing up and down arrows to tell you the item but allowing you to view the whole list and press enter or tab to a go button to select them. I hope I am making sense and wish I could provide an URL but this is something on the work intranet so I cannot provide an example. Using Jaws 9 at home, 8 at work.
