I find this interesting.  I was on a web site this morning.  I went to what 
jaws called a combo box, the usual, go into forms mode and use alt down arrow 
to open.  then jaws says list box.  I wonder then does jaws use these terms 
interchangeably.

Have you've tried right-clicking on them? Just a random thought that crossed my 
mind.

Try this. When you land on the list, first press the Enter key. Then see if you 
can arrow up/down or if Alt+downarrow opens the list.

Try Alt+downarrow when you're on the list, and see if that opens it. Then you 
should be able to use the up/down arrow to scroll through the list. Then tab 
away to any other element or button. It's been a while since I used JAWS 8 or 
9, so working from memory.

I'm using JAW's 8, and wondering if there is a way to open a list box on a web 
site. Its Webster's dictionary, and when there are multiple definitions, i can 
only access the main one. Happy holidays to all...
