Yes, although other methods work in accessing combo boxes, the "alt + down arrow" is the most consistent method; it is the suggested method given in manuals. When I am looking at ways to instruct students, I spend more time on finding the easiest and consistent methods than anything else.

I see a combo box and JAWS reports a number of items. If I press down arrow to an option, the web page changes to the new selection, even if I didn't want to go there. It is indeed safer to press Alt down arrow to see your options, choose one and proceed from there. Thanks for bringing that up. Francis
