Tom,
Here is the fix from Freedom's website...
To read combo boxes with Windows 9x operating systems, you must edit the
text of the configuration (.jcf) file for Internet Explorer. This can be
done with
any text editor, such as Notepad, but should never be done using a word
processing program like Word because the format of the configuration file
will
be changed, rendering the file unusable.
It is recommended that you create a backup of any configuration file that
you modify, in case you make an error while editing the file.
NOTE: These steps assume that you have installed JAWS in the default
folder, C:\JAWS50.
1. Press WINDOWS Key+R.
2. Type "notepad \JAWS50\Settings\ENU\Internet Explorer 5-6.jcf" and press
ENTER to open the file Internet Explorer 5-6.jcf in Notepad.
3. Press ALT+E then F; type "OSM" and press ENTER.
4. Press ESC to close the Find dialog box. Press END and then press ENTER
to create a blank line under the [OSM] section heading.
5. Type "IgnoreTransparentSpaces=1" exactly as shown.
6. Press ALT+F then S, to save your changes. Press ALT+F4 to quit Notepad.
7. Quit and then restart JAWS. When you start Internet Explorer, JAWS will
read combo boxes correctly.

Subject: JFW 5 and Combo Boxes in Forms Mode
Hey all,
I saw a thread about this subject a while back but didn't pay much if any
attention and now I'm noticing that on pages such as my online banking site
and on www.amtrak.com that combo boxes don't track well at all in forms
mode. This is with IE 6 SP1 on a Windows ME box. Any ideas how to fix
this, or should I roll back to an earlier build? Thanks in advance.
Tom
