Remember that this is not a "bug". Some sites do intend their combo boxes to
work this way, hence the alt+down arrow and alt+up arrow commands.

This has been a problem for a very long time and through a very large
numbers of Jaws releases. I too hope a satisfactory solution can be found.

This is interesting. I would be interested also. I see they are using Java
Script that automatically takes you to a page that starts the down load once
the user has complete all of the selections from box 1 and box 2.

Thanks in advance and hope this is clear.
When on a combo box and hitting down arrow to highlight a desired
selection, sometimes the link is activated simply by hitting the down arrow
instead of the enter key or tabbing to a button for submit or select.
How does one make choice selections in this situation without starting a
download of something you do not want.
I am using XPHome, Jaws 5x, and IE.
The download page of www.ultralingua.com has a combo box that act this way,
the one for select product to download.
Again, thanks in advance
