Have you tried the following to sove the problem?:1. Enter into forms
mode when in the list box.
2. Press alt+down arrow.
3. Now press the down arrow by itself to make selection.
I have faced the same problem that you have face however, this solved
the problem sometimes.
If this does not work, simply give the following description to the help desk:
I am using a screen reader and when I try to make a selection from the
list box, the page is refreshed for each new selection that I try to
arrow through to get to the the required selection. It is very
annoying and it takes me forever to get to the required selection.

Hi All,
I sent a message the other day about some list boxes on a website where
every time that I turned forms mode on and tried to arrow through the list
box I'd get kicked out of forms mode immediately. A couple of others
confirmed that the same thing happened to them and suggested that I contact
the webmaster of the site, but my question is how do I explain what the
problem is in a way that a sighted person will understand, and what
suggestions do I make to fix the problem?
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. The web site is
http://www.southeasttexas.com/classifieds/ and they must have changed
something fairly recently because at one time I didn't have this problem.
