Problem often is, unless you down-arrow quickly enough, your first choice (selected when you first down-arrowed) will be selected. (Javascripted combo boxes.) The only thing for it is to down-arrow quickly; or, in an alphabetical list, hit the first letter - then down arrow like blazes to the item you want, if it's not the first item, where you will stop for a second or more. (These combo boxes can be found on many banks' sites.
