This has been a problem for a very long time and through a very large
numbers of Jaws releases. I too hope a satisfactory solution can be found.

This is interesting.  I would be interested also.  I see they are using Java
Script that automatically takes you to a page that starts the down load once
the user has complete all of the selections from box 1 and box 2.

Thanks in advance and hope this is clear.
When on a combo box and hitting down arrow to highlight a  desired
selection, sometimes the link is activated simply by hitting the down arrow
instead of the enter key or tabbing to a button for submit or select.
How does one make choice selections in this situation without starting a
download of something you do not want.
I am using XPHome, Jaws 5x, and IE.

The download page of www.ultralingua.com has a combo box that act this way,
the one for select product to download.
 Again, thanks in advance
