What Web site? That might help us find alternative techniques for dealing with the problem. have you ever tried multi-select combo boxes? These enable you to go through a list of items in a combo box and select only some of them: it occurs to me that that might help here. You press shift-F8 to open a multi-select combo box, instead of alt-down-arrow (which you use for a single selection combo box). After entering Forms Mode, press shift-F8, to open the extendable select list. Hit spacebar on each of the items you want to select. (All of this is (or appears to be) an Internet Explorer functionality.)

I have checked in with all of the help resources I can find, and have still had no success. First I use the JAWS cursor and move to the item I want to select. The help files then say to use the jaws key plus control plus 8 (I'm on a laptop), and imply that this should give me some kind of drag-and-drop mode. It would then seem that I should be able to move the selected item around using Alt plus shift plus the arrow keys, but I haven't had any luck getting any of this to work. Is there something I'm missing? I have found precious little information on how to actually do this, just a brief description of the commands themselves. Any help would be appreciated.
