John,

Again, this doesn't make sense. If you tab to a control than browse mode will be off. If that isn't happening for you, can you give me an example of this on a page I can get to? I'm not able to duplicate it with my test pages.

Hello Doug,

I am sorry I did not explain the issue properly.

In WE 7.5.4.1, and earlier,  I could navigate to the first combo box and
then switch browse mode off. I could then use the up and down arrow keys to
select the item in the list I wished to use. I then use a tab to get to the
next combo box and used the arrow keys to select the letter. ETC.

With WE 8 beta 1 I had no control at all of the switch to browse mode or
not: I got to the first combo box, selected the letter I wished and then
tabbed to the next. At this point browse mode switched in again and I
started at an undefined, to me point on the screen I could navigate to the
combo box, but it was not easy.

I hope this is of help.


Regards, John

John,

I'm not following you.  From what you said, it should be that it works
better in 8 than it did in 7.5.4.1.  In 7.5.4.1 when you tabbed to the first
combo box you would of still been in browse mode so you would of had to hit
enter or hit ctrl-shift-a to toggle BM off in order to interact with the
combo box.  Now with 8.0 all you have to do is tab to the combo box and you
can start interacting with it.  Clearly I'm missing something <smile>.

Greetings.

Windows 7 pro 64 bit with all patches.
WE 8.0 beta 1
Using IE8.

I have access my bank account using the new beta of Window-eyes.

To do this, the first page is a user-id and a password.
No issue.

The second page is where there are 3 adjacent combo boxes with which
to select the letters from 3 places in a a security phrase.

Under WE 7.5.4.1 and earlier this did not present any problems. Once
on the first combo box, browse mode was switched off and then the
arrow keys were used on each of the boxes to select the letter in the
list.
Now, with the automatic nature of browse mode, I found this a
difficult task.

Is it possible to go back to the old mode of browse for a given page
when desired or is there a designed means of handling such a scenario?

Thanks in advance.
