When you come across a combo box on a web page you need to turn on forms mode and then press alt+down arrow once. Jaws will tell you it's opening the list and you can then navigate up and down the list with the up or down arrow keys, pressing them on their own each time. If you tab to another combo box, you will need to press alt+down arrow again to open it's list of items.
Likewise, if you have opened a combo box with alt+down arrow, the keystroke alt+up arrow will close the list for you.

When I go to some combo boxes, it just clicks on the first choice instead of letting me navigate up and down. Do I have the keystrokes wrong? thanks, cj Visit the JAWS Users list home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the JAWS Users List send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the new archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Yahoo!
