Harmony,
A list box and a combo box are not the same, although they may serve the same
function. A list box normally displays several items on the screen to choose
from. A combo box only displays one item at a time until it is opened or as
some would say dropped down. A combo box is sometimes called a drop down list
in Help files and other types of documentation.

A listbox and combo box are the same thing really.

I find this interesting. I was on a web site this morning. I went to what
jaws called a combo box, the usual, go into forms mode and use alt down arrow
to open. then jaws says list box. I wonder then does jaws use these terms
interchangeably.

Have you've tried right-clicking on them? Just a random thought that
crossed my mind.

Try this. When you land on the list, first press the Enter key. Then see
if you can arrow up/down or if Alt+downarrow opens the list.

Try Alt+downarrow when you're on the list, and see if that opens it.
Then you should be able to use the up/down arrow to scroll through the list.
Then tab away to any other element or button. It's been a while since I used
JAWS 8 or 9, so working from memory.

I'm using JAW's 8, and wondering if there is a way to open a list
box on a web site. Its Webster's dictionary, and when there are multiple
definitions, i can only access the main one. Happy holidays to all...
