Folks,
I am currently working with FS on this exact problem.
I am using Windows 98 with JFW 5.0844.
I believe that this is a problem with this new build that effects the
Windows 9x versions.
I would like to hear from anyone who is using Windows 98 or 98 SE with build
844 who is not having any problems reading combo boxes on web pages.

problem?

> 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.
