Hi All, I know this topic came up some weeks ago. However, in the past two days I experienced similar difficulties in opening combo boxes. It is on a secure site, a bank, where I have an account and they have recently updated their pages.
I am running JAWs 14, Windows 7 and have tried accessing it with Firefox and IE. With FF I locate the combo box, hit enter for forms mode, then alt down arrow. Jaws speaks: "Read only". In IE, I have it set up so that forms mode is automatic, so I hit Alt and Down Arrow. Jaws responds with a "Blank". I know that the fields are working as when I type Ireland into the select country combo, it is there. However, it is impossible to guess the options in the other boxes. I have also tried NVDA without success. Any ideas?
