Guys, what you do is press enter first to enter into the combo box, then
press alt down arrow, arrow around to select your desired choice and =

Hi,

I've had this happen to me on some web pages but not on all. It seems to =

that this is a web-page problem rather than a jaws problem. One way to =

around it is to cursor down to the selection you want very quickly and =
let
the program activate it for you. I'm referring here to jaws 4.2 version.
Good luck!

The alt plus down arrow does not seem to open the combo box. Enter does =
open
the box, but when I hit the down arrow to select a product, it activates =
the
link immediately and takes me to a download page preventing me from =
making
the selection that I want, which is not the first one in the combo box.

Hi Robert,
Press alt and cursor down to open the menu, then use your up and down =

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
