Yeah, I agree. That would actually be my second method. Good Catch. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ryan West Sent: Friday, February 22, 2013 3:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] combo boxes
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.
