Hi,

It kind of depends on how the developer coded the web-site.  You have multiple 
ways that you can address these elements.

Radio Buttons:  If the radio buttons are grouped, as in a scale thing, like 
“Select 1 through 5 depending on your degree of satisfaction”, then I can tab 
to the item, and the first item will be selected.  Using right or left arrows 
should move through the other possible buttons in that group.  Note, coming 
from before will land you on, and select the first item, whereas tabbing from 
after will land you on and first select the last item.  You can also use VO 
navigation to move through the radio button choices, then either VO-space or 
just space to select the radio button.

Combo Boxes or Pop-up Menus:  these are often handled in a similar manner.  
Again, it depends on the method that the developer coded these elements, but 
basically, try VO-space, then arrow down.  If that doesn’t work, press return 
on the menu, then arrow.  Sometimes, I’ve had to press return to open the combo 
box or menu items, then use VO arrows within.  You have to use everything in 
your toolbox as there doesn’t seem to be a one option fits all when it comes to 
web elements.

HTH.

Later…
