Bob:

After you have pressed ENTER to turn on forms mode, have you tried using the 
ALT+DOWN ARROW, to see if you can up and down arrow through the list and then 
press ENTER on the definition you wish to get more information?

Sincerely:

Dave Durber

  Hi Dave, The problem is with merriam-webster.com For example if I enter the 
word "anti" it shows that there are forty definitions. But when I hit enter on 
the list box, forms mode comes on alright, but as soon as I up or down arrow, 
it kicks me out of the list box, leaving me with
    just the one definition. If I use their advanced search, I get , I think it 
was seven of the forty. Thanks...Bob----- Original Message -----

    Hello Bob:

    What I meant to ask was, also give me an example where you have a multiple 
choice of meanings for a word.

    Sincerely:

        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...
