Alt + down arrow will open them, and when you then find the item you want, alt + up arrow will close them, and this a workaround in case they then trigger some or other javascript activity, otherwise it would take place as you just arrowed down within them, so it's safer, and this also sometimes works better in normal, not web based drop down boxes, in normal dialogue boxes.

Stay well

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Using combo boxes with Jaws


Hi All:

I would like to know if we navigate combo boxes by pressing only the
down arrow key or Alt + down arrow keys after entering into forms
mode.

I would also like to know the appropriate reasons for different kinds
of behavior.

Or does it vary even with the versions of Jaws?

Thanks and regards,
Silpa.
