Why are you turning on forms mode to arrow up/down in the box??
Forms mode is used to fill out information into a box/field. Maybe the
reason it s turning off forms mode is because you aren't suppose to be in
forms mode in the first place.

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
