I haven't. Thought I'd try this list first. Think I might just be missing
something.

Thank you. Yes, I have tried alt down arrow because that's how I work
with combo boxes in IE, but when I close out of the box that way and go
back, the item I wanted isn't selected. If I hit enter on the item, at
least it is selected when I check back.

Hi Listers,
I recently installed Firefox at work because Jaws 10 with IE 7 just
didn't work to fill out a number of forms that I'm responsible for.
Fortunately, Firefox is doing the job. There are 2 things I can't
figure out with Firefox though.
1. I can't figure out how to turn on the feature to have web addresses
that I go to often auto complete when I start typing the address.
2. In IE what Jaws calls combo boxes are called list boxes in Firefox,
and they seem to operate differently. In Firefox, the only way I can
find to select an item is to hit enter on it. That's not a problem -
although I don't know what will happen when I come across a
multi-select list box. The problem is that after I select an item Jaws
doesn't recognize it when I read through the page to check my work.
Jaws just says "list box collapsed." My work around has been to unload
firefox and go back to IE so that Jaws can read the selections in the
combo boxes. This isn't a big deal, but if there's a better way to
handle this, I'd love to know.
Thank you,
Shari
