Hi Tom,

When, Alt + Down arrow doesn't work, try using, Shift + F8.  Shift+f8 is 
used to turn on extended selection, the ability to select more than one item 
in a multi-select list box.
Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Reading Combo Boxes


I am using JAWS 18 with Windows 7 64-bit Pro and IE 11. As I was filling out 
the form for a Microsoft account, I had to select my birthdate:  date, 
month, and year. These selections are in list boxes. The down and up arrow 
keys read nothing. I could not read these unless I tabbed out and back into 
them. The read line key read nothing. Pressing Alt-Down Arrow didn’t change 
anything. Pressing the right and left arrow keys moved me to the next field 
on the page. I was able to fill out the form but I had to tab in and out of 
the fields several times to make sure I had chosen correctly. Any help would 
be appreciated.
