It's not a voiceover problem. the main cause for some of these combo boxes is poor coding and implementation. there's scenarios where voiceover cannot grab a combo box because the object in question is not in a standard format, instead it may be part of a tailor made design package or something unsupported by voiceover.
there are plenty of instances I've come across where voiceover can't support interaction with certain web components. lew On 11 Dec 2011, at 16:50, Red.Falcon wrote: > Hi Christine! > Well I took a look at the site as well! > Although I'm in the UK I also got exactly the same results as you! > Now I do not know if this is a vo or safari or even the sites problem if a > windows user can use the site OK then it might indeed be a vo problem! > I can only suggest [if you have not already] send a Email to there customer > services and see what they might say! > Anyway you have a great day! > Colin > > On 11 Dec 2011, at 16:29, Christine Grassman wrote: > >> All right, all, here's another (probably Safari) problem.
