RE: problem with list box on webpage

This method won't really be of any use, as this type of box is pretty merciless for screen reader users. They're in the minority, but they're becoming more common, unfortunately. I don't know of a solution.

Subject: problem with list box on webpage

I'm trying to use a list box on a web page, and every time I arrow up or
down, it automatically opens the new page, and I can't browse through the
list box. I tried opening the list box like a combo box with alt down arrow,
but it doesn't help. How can I arrow through a list box on this web page
without it jumping to the next item on the list automatically? Thanks.
