Louis,have you ascertained from sighted assistance that there are, in fact, text items in the affected combo boxes? (In other words, that they are not blank - with no screen-reader loaded?) The scenario being presented with at least two sepa rate screen readers and at least two separate browsers seems more than coincidental, to be sure. Are you having any other noteworthy issues elsewhere on your computers, such as stuff not displaying correctly? And, not to overlook what seems obvious, are your windows being used maximized?

Hi Flor,Tried using regular IE, tried Insert and Z only difference is that instead of jaws reading "blank" jaws is completely silent when I hit down arrow.Louis -----Original Message-----From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] OnBehalf Of Flor Lynch Sent: 10 September 2014 21:00 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] combo boxesSorry, i missed the reference to IE (64-bit).

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 workingwith NVDA. The difficulty is that the form I am attempting to fill inmust 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 securityfeature applicable as I am able to access combo boxes on other siteswithout difficulty.

If Internet Explorer, have you tried Firefox instead? have you any earlier JAWS version you could use?----- Original Message -----From: "Anthony06" <[email protected]>To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2014 8:49 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] combo boxesHi 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 boxesworked as expected: booking flights for example. However, with othersites, 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.

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.

However, in the past two days I experienced similar difficulties in opening combo boxes. It is on a securesite, a bank, where I have an account and they have recently updatedtheir 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?
