Hi Graham,

The following should help in this situation.  Making multiple selections
as here is different from the straightforward selection mode in lists.

To make multiple selections in a multi select combo box, get the cursor
on the combo box, then go into forms mode with the enter key and then do
a shift key with F8 to go into extended select mode.
Now as you up and down arrow, use the space bar to select or unselect an
item.  When you are finished, use shift key plus F8 again to get out of
extended select mode.  You can now tab to the go button or next form
field

Hi all.
I am looking at LG jobs,
www.lgjobs.co.uk
on this site you can have jobs emailed to you and choose where you want
the job to be based and in what categories you want the job.  In theory
I believe
you can select more than one item in each of these list boxes, by
holding down control and arrowing through the list, pressing space bar
on the item you
want.
I can't get this to work.  am I doing something wrong or can you not do
this with the keyboard in Internet Explorer
Cheers
Graham
