hi Troy,
i just pay a visit to the URL you've provide in your previous post and i got an
idea to how to use the selection box.
1st. when you first enter to this page, jaws will not read the first item
appear in the selection box, jaws only read "listbox", so
what you should do is press enter to activate "form mode" then you arrow down
once, you will then bring to the next page that is
"Air Conditioning - Heating Systems".
2nd. from this page, you can use the listbox easily by use the "alt+arrowDown"
after you enter "form mode". to exit form mode and go
to the selected page, just hit tab key once.
on the other words, you must go to the second page to use the "alt+arrowDown"
in form mode.
hope this helps.
Regards,
Allan Wong

Subject: explaining to someone how to make their website accessible
Hi All,
I sent a message the other day about some list boxes on a website where
every time that I turned forms mode on and tried to arrow through the list
box I'd get kicked out of forms mode immediately. A couple of others
confirmed that the same thing happened to them and suggested that I contact
the webmaster of the site, but my question is how do I explain what the
problem is in a way that a sighted person will understand, and what
suggestions do I make to fix the problem?
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. The web site is
http://www.southeasttexas.com/classifieds/ and they must have changed
something fairly recently because at one time I didn't have this problem.
Troy
