Hi Arnie,
There are lots of things at play here including what version of jaws you may
be using and what version of internet explorer. After putting jaws in forms
mode you may need to press alt down arrow to open the list or drop down box
before you can read the content. If they have unknowingly upgraded you to
Internet Explorer 7 and you are running JAWS 7 or earlier this combination
will not work properly in forms and drop down boxes. If you could send us a
link to the database we could also test it to seee if we can access the
content.

Subject: [real-eyes] help library data base
Greetings,
I am using one of the library data bases at UMKC and am having a
challenge that I wonder if someone can give me some suggestions on what
to try. I freely admit that I am not an expert JAWS user either. In
the data base that I am using there are multiple drop down boxes on a
single row of text. I can move around to the different drop down boxes,
however, I cannot get JAWS to read me the drop down boxes using either
the PC curser nor the Jaws curser. =20
In another row of drop down boxes on a different screen it will read the
entire line of text on the row, but not the individual drop down boxes
and the unique text within one drop down box. =20
The third problem is that I cannot get JAWS to read even what the
options are in any of the drop down boxes. =20
How can I get Jaws to read the text in one drop down box and the options
within the drop down box. Using the arrow keys, up and down, has not
worked either.=20
If there is something I can do navigate this I would love to learn. I
would also like to know if, on the other hand, it is a configuration
problem with the data base.
thanks in advance for your guidance.
Arnie
