Yes, it just kicks me out of forms mode and to the top of the page. Maybe its 
because I'm stuck on JAWS 8.

  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?

    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...
