Hi Susie:

Check out the following link taken from the Freedom Scientific Surfing
the Internet pages for an example of how to code one of these lists.

http://www.freedomscientific.com/Training/Surfs-Up/WebTrack.htm 

The control you are looking for is labelled as ordered products.

Performing non contiguous selection in these lists is different if
using firefox.  When using Internet explorer, you use the Shift + f8
keystroke to turn on extended selection mode.  when this is used, you
can arrow through the selections in a list and toggle selection by
pressing space.  When using Firefox, you use control + up and down
arrows to move through the list and control + space to toggle selection.
 

I should mention that this still does not work in Jaws 11 when using
firefox 3.5.2  I do not know whether later versions of firefox would
work any differently.  I have reported this to FS in the past but
problems still exist.  I find when pressing control + space to select an
entry, that jaws goes out of forms mode and then the virtual cursor
moves to the next line after the control.

Hi Listers,

I need to know how to code the multi select list and how in JAWS to
select either contiguous or non-contiguouse selections which would then
be placed on a second list. I think this might be the only list I have
not written to.
