Sorry, i missed the reference to IE (64-bit). I wonder if the 32-bit IE would work instead however ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Flor Lynch" <florl...@iol.ie>

You didn't mention internet Explorer specifically. Have you tried with it? Using JAWS, try IE and with the virtual cursor turned off (JAWSKey+z, which toggles it off and (then next press) on).

Hi Flor,
I have Firefox as my default browser on my home computer, it was on FF that I first noticed the problem. Tried IE 64 bit with similar result. I only have Jaws 15, but have tried it using NVDA. Have tried the usual restarts 
and the like.
What I find is when I initially enter and ALT down-arrow on the Combo, in Firefox it states "read only edit". When I tab away and tab back, it has an entry. Example: Country of residence: random selection: "Albania" as I arrow down, it continuously repeats "Albania". If I tab away and tab back, the 
country has changed. Example: "Denmark".
This occurs with both Jaws and NVDA, although I wouldn't be used to working with NVDA. The difficulty is that the form I am attempting to fill in must 
be completed in a certain number of minutes or it refreshes.
I believe it may be a specific type of form, or there is some security 
feature applicable  as I am able to access combo boxes on other sites
without difficulty.

Regards

Louis

Hi Louis,
What browser and version? If Internet Explorer, have you tried Firefox 
instead? have you any earlier JAWS version you could use?

Hi all,
Further to my below message, I looked at a number of sites with combo 
boxes
while at work today. Running Jaws 15, with certain sites the combo
boxes
worked as expected: booking flights for example. However, with other
sites,
there was no feed-back from the combo boxes at all.
Is it possible that certain sites could have moved to a form of flash 
in the
combo boxes? Nothing else occurs.

To Jorge, nothing is spoken by Jaws on certain sites.

Louis

Hi,
Try entering on the combobox, wait then down arrow to the combobox you 
want
and then give it a second.
The screen should change now.
The selected combobox is now transferring money to the other account. 

On the edit box $0.00,
Type in the amount with the numpad.
Then, submit and OK/confirm.

HTH,
Jorge

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?

Louis

The proper key stroke for the choices in a combo box is Alt+downArrow

Anna, I'm not using JAWS 15, but what happens if you press
control+down
arrow when you're situated on a combobox?
