Trust me, this is a jaws command. If done properly it does work everywhere. I don't get what the problem is here. Can you tell me exactly what you are doing in what order? ----- Original Message ----- From: Russell Solowoniuk To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 8:17 PM Subject: Re: Combo boxes that respond as if selected with the down-arrow. Hi, I've come across combo boxes where this method doesn't work. Actually nothing works except pressing alt + left arrow and going back to the combo box and choosing the next item in the list and so forth until the desired choice is reached which can be a real pain if there are a lot of items in the list.

Guys, what you do is press enter first to enter into the combo box, then press alt down arrow, arrow around to select your desired choice and then press alt up arrow.

Hi, I've had this happen to me on some web pages but not on all. It seems to me that this is a web-page problem rather than a jaws problem. One way to get around it is to cursor down to the selection you want very quickly and let the program activate it for you. I'm referring here to jaws 4.2 version. Good luck! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert McCoy" <rmccoy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2003 4:22 PM Subject: RE: Combo boxes that respond as if selected with the down-arrow. The alt plus down arrow does not seem to open the combo box. Enter does open the box, but when I hit the down arrow to select a product, it activates the link immediately and takes me to a download page preventing me from making the selection that I want, which is not the first one in the combo box.

Hi Robert, Press alt and cursor down to open the menu, then use your up and down cursor to browse through. I hope this helps. Ammar Elsherei.

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 Robert McCoy (506) 459-6636 To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
