Hello Flor,
Yes, this is true most of the time, but now an then I have run across combo
boxes that when opened if you arrow down it activates the selected item. I
think it is because the developer thought it a good idea to have quick
response to a sighted persons mouse click. So, if a normal alt down arrow
then down arrowing through the list works great! If not, the jaws cursor
can navidgate without selecting an item in the list.
Sincerely, Ryan West

Commonly, after you open the combo box with alt+DownArrow, you only need
to arrow through the combo box (or use the first letter of the item you
want to select).

Hello Suey,
What I have tried in the past is activating the combo box with an alt down
arrow. Then I activated the jaws cursor, routed the jaws cursor to pc
cursor. Then went down the list with jaws until I found the item I wanted
then routed the pc to jaws. If you know the first letter of the item in
the box and there are not others with the same first letter you can enter
the box and press the first letter. I hope this helps! I know this is a
pain.
Sincerely, Ryan West

Subject: [JAWS-Users] combo boxes
Can anybody help me with a combo box problem? When I enter a combo box on
a website, as soon as I press up or down arrow it selects the item
directly above or below and refreshes the web page accordingly rather
than letting me read all of the items in the box and choose the one that I
want. Is there a way to solve this?
