Hi Lisa,

In addition to what has already been said, in my experience, I find it best, 
after you've used the alt+arrow keys to open the combo box, then arrowed 
down to your selection, and, upon reaching your choice, it's best to close 
the combo box with alt+up arrow, as this will complete the selection, and, 
I'm assuming, will refresh the page to reflect your selection.

At that point, once the page refreshes, you can simply press the letter C 
key for the combo box, and Jaws will take you straight to the combo box, 
assuming that it's the only one on the page, if it isn't, you can just keep 
pressing the letter C until you get to the combo box you just made the 
selection in and continue filling out the form at that point.

I do this because sometimes the author of the webpage doesn't take us into 
account, and the fact that we have to arrow through the selections so we can 
hear what they are, so if we press tab to go to the next form field, the 
combo box will sometimes not make the change we want, and stay on the 
original selection, at which point, we have to go back to the combo box, and 
redo the selection.

This way, I know it's made properly and I'm not putting my fate in the hands 
of someone who failed to take us blind folks into account.  Smile.
