There was a mention earlier of using Shift+F8 to "freeze" the list and allow
multiple selections, then tabbing away to execute some other element on the
web. Give that a try.

As I said, this does not work. I know how to select noncontiguous items in a
list, but this does not, I repeat does not work on this web page.
Pressing control down arrow has no effect. The virtual cursor does not move
down in the list.
I do not want to copy or cut the items, I just need to highlight them
before submitting the form.

No, what he said was to use the Ctrl key and the spacebar, once you've
opened the list with Enter. However you need to keep the Ctrl key pressed
and if you want to skip an item in the list you press down arrow while
continually keeping the Ctrl key pressed. So if you wanted to select items
1, 3, and 5 out of a total list you would:
Enter
arrow to 1
1 is already selected
Ctrl+arrow to 3
Ctrl+ space
Arrow to 5 Ctrl +space
Copy, Cut, or tab, if you're in a web page.

Sorry, control space doesn't let me select multiple items.
As I said in my original message, the site seems to assume that the person
is going to be using amouse.
I have tried to use the jaws cursor, route it to the desired item, and then
press ctrl and the jaws left mouse click key. It has no effect.

Phil, I haven't done this myself, which is strange considering how much time
I spend on the Net, but I believe the solution is to hold down the control
key and to press the spacebar against each item you want to select.

Subject: Selecting multiple items in alist box on a web page
Hi.
I am trying to select multiple items in a list on a web page.
The directions on the web page say, use your control key.
Obviously, this is for people that use a mouse.
I can open the list using enter.
It acts like a combo box, but there is supposed to be a way to select more
than one item.
At the moment, I can only select one item by using the down arrow.
Is there any way to select more than one item?
I have tried to use the jaws cursor and move to each item and press the left
mouse button on the keyboard, but this doesn't work.
I have tried ctrl down arrow, but this does nothing too.
I hope this makes sense, and that someone has an idea how to get jaws to
select multiple items.
Thanks
Phil
