hi Troy, i just pay a visit to the URL you've provide in your previous post and i got an idea to how to use the selection box. 1st. when you first enter to this page, jaws will not read the first item appear in the selection box, jaws only read "listbox", so what you should do is press enter to activate "form mode" then you arrow down once, you will then bring to the next page that is "Air Conditioning - Heating Systems". 2nd. from this page, you can use the listbox easily by use the "alt+arrowDown" after you enter "form mode". to exit form mode and go to the selected page, just hit tab key once. on the other words, you must go to the second page to use the "alt+arrowDown" in form mode. hope this helps.

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.
