When you are on a combo box, press space to cycle through the items. I hope this makes sense. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: Rhonda Clark <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [email protected] >Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 21:16:16 -0500 >Subject: re: [Braillenote] selecting material type from nls online catalog >Lisa, I'm sure you left this out, but didn't mean to. The website is www.loc.gov/nls/braille. If you enter it like that, you are presented with your login. Press the dot 4-chord, and after the Braille Braille, press it once more. Log in your user name. Press dot 4-chord to enter your password. Press dot 4-chord again. You'll be asked to wait. When you start looking at the site, press Enter at the online catalog. Press dot 4-chord nine times to get to the title. This is a little bit the long way about, but works. When you see the title, press dots 46-chord. You'll see examples. Press 46-chord again, you'll see "text input". Write in your title. Press 46-chord again to get to Keyword. Generally, I enter web braille in this spot. Press dots 46-chord until you see "search button". Press Enter. There are a couple of other ways, but this generally works every time. >> ----- Original Message ----- >>From: Lisa Ehlers <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>To: [email protected] >>Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2005 12:08:26 -0800 >>Subject: [Braillenote] selecting material type from nls online catalog >>Hi Everyone, >>I posted about this a few days ago but received no responses. I'm trying to use the online catalog on the NLS site. The address is >>www.loc.gov/nls >>Go under the search the online catalog section to find out where I'm talking about. I used to have no problems using it when I was running KS 5.1 but whatever. I'm not blaming KS 6.11 but it seems strange to me that this used to work without any problems and now it doesn't work. Maybe there's a new step I'm missing? >>I have trouble with the combo boxes for the location and the material type. I tried pressing space with dots 4-6 and backspace with dots 1-3 and that didn't do anything. It checks the word all first in the location list and the material type lists. All is the first word in each of these lists. I am not allowed to choose any other choices in the list although the lists are presented to me. I was thinking the way I used to select an item in a combo box was to press enter on it. I got those chord commands that I mentioned above from the manual and thought they were helping. >>I'm just concerned something was changed with the upgrade that may not have been included in the manual. Maybe I've forgotten how to select information in combo boxes? This is confusing and frustrating. I wanted to download a book for work. >>I have not tried to use combo boxes on other Web sites if it doesn't work on NLS I'm guessing it won't work on other sites. Maybe that's a negative attitude but when something used to work so simply and now the sameproceedure appears not to be applicable it just doesn't make sense. >>Any ideas would be apreciated. Sorry if I seem to be complaining. >>Have a great weekend everyone.
