Hi list, I have found with all versions of Jaws that I have had, 3.5-5.844
some combo boxes will work ok while others on the same page will insist on
jumping to the first item arrowed to in the list. I have never found the
Ault down arrow to work for me. I have just accepted the fact that some
work and some don't. Quite frustrating.

> Hello, I just tried working with the combo box. I went to Circuit City's
website. After hitting enter for forms mode, I was able to press alt down
arrow and move through the different choices. I also pressed enter for forms
mode and was able to just press the down arrow and move through the
different selections in the combo box. I am using the Jaws version 5.0.844,
and I also have an Invida video card. I am using windows xp home. Hope this
helps. At least on my system Jaws version 5.0.844 does read the combo boxes.
