Agreed, alt+up arrow is the ideal way to exit, but it doesn't take on all websites. If I remember correctly, NLS's BARD website is an example. _____ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Durber Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2010 6:48 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Turning Off Auto-Select In Combo Boxes Before you press ENTER to activate the option you want in the combo box, press ALT+UP ARROW then press ENTER.

I know how to do it in multi-select lists and such, but not so much in combo boxes. The shift plus down arrow doesn't seem to work here. Is there any other way? It's tedious having to wait for a page to load each time when I'm going through a combo box of 349 items. Thanks so much. Samara
