That type of box should say in jaws, extended select listbox.  Use F8 key to get
into the mode where you can select multiple items and.  When you highlight an
item you want, use the spacebar to select the item.  Once you've tabbed away
from the extendedlistbox, the state when you return goes back to only selecting
one item.  You'll have to use your F8 key again to get to the point where you
may select multiple items.  You can always do insertF1 on this type of control
to see how to handle it with jaws.

Subject: combo box question ASAP


I am in the middle of submitting an online resume, and there are two combo
boxes for selecting type of employment and category. I can select multiple
items, by using control click. I can't seem to get JAWS to do this, and if I
do, I'm not sure what is selected. Has anyone had experience using these
checkboxes, and how do I select multiple items and read them to be certain
they are selected?
