Dave, You're thinking of a multiselect list box where you use shift+F8 and then press Space Bar on the items you want to select.

Something like a keystroke that used one of the F# keys to not only open the list, but to allow us to move up and down without each movement triggering a change in the web page.

I have one site where I can open a combo box, select what I want it to do and just hit escape and wait for Jaws to talk and the page is what I wanted. ----- Original Message ----- From: Farfar Carlson To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2010 7:35 AM Subject: Re: Turning Off Auto-Select In Combo Boxes Tom and others, I also vaguely recall a keystroke that allowed a combo box or editable list to be opened without suffering the web page refreshing with each item as you arrow down. Something similar to freezing the list to allow us to pick the item. Wish I could remember that keystroke.

That should do it. Tom keystroke. ----- Original Message ----- From: Samara Raine To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2010 2:57 AM Subject: Turning Off Auto-Select In Combo Boxes Is there a way to force a combo box that automatically selects an option when you arrow through it not to do this? I know how to do it in multi-select lists and such, but not so much in combo boxes. The shift plus down arrow doesn't seem to work here. Is there any other way? It's tedious having to wait for a page to load each time when I'm going through a combo box of 349 items. Thanks so much. Samara
