Thanks Kelly for that valuable info.  Do you have any idea about when Jaws 8 
will be released?

Thanks in advance.
Paul

  If you are using JAWS 7.1 with IE7, you should be aware that there are still 
some situations when JAWS will not correctly read combo boxes or selection 
lists on web pages.  The majority of situations have been corrected where this 
is a problem but it is not 100% resolved.  If you are comfortable using the 
JAWS cursor you can work around those places where this is still an issue and I 
know that Freedom Scientific will fully support IE7 with JAWS 8.

  The situations where JAWS tends to not read things correctly involve times 
when the combo box is expanded by default on the web page or if you turn it 
into a list by using alt+down arrow.

  Kelly
