This doesn't always work. Like RJ, I notice that when you open some combo
boxes and press Alt-down arrow, the first item is immediately selected and
you are taken out of forms mode before you have a chance to arrow down to
the item you actually want. I haven't figured out a way around this glitch
myself, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try opening it by first turning forms mode on and then using Alt plus down
arrow. You should hear something about the combo box being open. Now
arrow down to the choice you want. If it's the type of combo box I'm
thinking of, you can just press tab to move away from that box and it
should open the page with whatever choice you selected.
Constipated accountants work it out with a pencil.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Combo boxes
On several web sites I am not able to choose items in combo boxes. If I
arrow down to make a selection, it is like clicking on a link. Is there
something I am missing to choose the item I am looking for in these combo
boxes?
