Sorry, Dave.

All I did was say thanks as always for the help, but somehow that got lost 
in my response.

Didn't mean to take up extra band with!   (smile)

Tom,

Nothing but your name in your response. Did you mean to add anything to the
thread?

Tom,

Once you are on a combo box, then use Alt+DownArrow to open the list/box and
then arrow up/down to hear the choices.

Note that some combo boxes on the web are "active" so that as soon as you've
changed the selection, the page refreshes to something new. Frustrating, as
you have to again find that combo box and take another step.

I think there's even a way to avoid this. Someone else will know how, I'm
sure.

Dave

Subject: accessing combo boxes with a Dell laptop


Hi, folks.

I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit this, but I forget how to access web site
combo boxes on the Dell Lattitude 610 laptop that I am using.

I am currently running Jaws 10 with Windows XP and Internet Explorer here.

Thanks for helping refresh my memory on this.

Sincerely,
Tom Behler in Colorado
