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?

Re: [JAWS-Users] combo boxes
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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] combo boxes
Hi All, I came across the following notes on selecting more than 1 item in a combobox: In Windows Explorer, for example, you can hold down the control key while you arrow through the list. When you get to an item you want to select, you press the space bar. You're holding down the control key the whole time. Release the control key when you want to stop selecting items. If you're in a dialog box with an extended list item, you can use shift+f8 to enter extended selection mode, arrow through the list, press control+space or shift+space to select an item and shift+f8 to leave extended list mode.

Use alt down arrow, but you should be able to just use the virtual pc cursor without routing jaws to it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] combo boxes
Hello Flor, Yes, this is true most of the time, but now an then I have run across combo boxes that when opened if you arrow down it activates the selected item. I think it is because the developer thought it a good idea to have quick response to a sighted persons mouse click. So, if a normal alt down arrow then down arrowing through the list works great! If not, the jaws cursor can navidgate without selecting an item in the list.

Re: [JAWS-Users] combo boxes
It's to do with Java controls. Whatever, alt+DownArrow is the surest way to open the combo box via keyboard and then use arrow keys to have control over what you want to select, not have it automatically or randomly chosen. - Original Message - From: Ryan West westr...@charter.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Friday, February 22, 2013 8:39 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] combo boxes Hello Flor, Yes, this is true most of the time, but now an then I have run across combo boxes that when opened if you arrow down it activates the selected item. I think it is because the developer thought it a good idea to have quick response to a sighted persons mouse click. So, if a normal alt down arrow then down arrowing through the list works great!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Combo Boxes IE |Reading Character By Character
Hello Bill, I think that the only way you can read a character at a time in a HTML combo box in Internet Explorer is to have JAWS spell the line. This will not allow you to navigate by character but you will hear each character spoken. Use Alt+down arrow key to open the combo box. Use up and down arrow keys to move between the combo box choices. Hold down the number pad insert key and press the number 8 twice quickly before releasing the insert key to have the current line spelled. If you are using a laptop configuration then hold down the caps lock key and press the letter I twice before releasing the caps lock key. In order to copy individual combo box items to the clipboard to be pasted in Word you should set JAWS verbosity to select and copy from virtual cursor. Use JAWS key with V to bring up the adjust JAWS options dialog, press V until you are at the virtual cursor group, and use down arrow to the select and copy choice. Use spacebar until from virtual cursor is selected. Press enter key to save any change you make. Move to the combo box and use alt+down arrow key to open it. Use down arrow key to an item to be copied and then use Alt+up arrow key to keep that item selected and close the combo box. Use F8 to select the item and then use CTRL+C to copy it to the clipboard. Do the same steps for each item except append the other individual items by using Windows key with C instead of CTRL with C. You can then open your destination program and paste the items. Another thing you can do is open the source file. The source choice is under the view menu in Internet Explorer. The source file should open in a different window. In the source file use CTRL+F to bring up the find dialog box, type in something like the word laser and press enter. The lines of the source file that list the combo box items are 404 to 422. Each line has other information on it but you can hear each item by moving a line at a time with the down arrow key or up arrow key. You can also move to line 404 and then hold down shift while you down arrow to line 422 to select the lines that contain the list of items. Copy the selected lines to the clipboard and paste them in your destination document. These are just a couple suggestions that you might want to try. Take care.

Try opening it by first turning forms mode on and then using Alt plus down arrow. You should hear something about the combo box being open. Now arrow down to the choice you want.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Combo boxes
Yes, probably. One of the places you can encounter them is at the FedEx.com website. If you delete your cookie for Fedex, the one that remembers your current location, you will be broght to their main homepage. At this point, you are presented with a combobox to choose a location. When you try to open the box, it immediately jumps to the first option and places you in the Afghanistan locale. I didn't discover this until a few days later, after wondering why my tracking number kept coming up with no results. I think I had to go into their sitemap to find reference to an accessible page, which treated the combobox in a customary manner. There is another site that I use a lot when I speak about web accessibility. Mr. Damry is aware of this site. If you go to the Cisco Linksys website and attempt to download new firmware or drivers, you are presented with a completely inaccessible combobox. I can kind of but not always get it to work with System Access, but not at all with Jaws or Window-eyes so far. It is kind of a combobox that scrolls when it is opened. Often, Jaws doesn't even recognize it as being a comboboox.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Combo boxes
Hi Dale, and any one on list, that has trubble's with the combo boxes. I have visited the webpage that you linked to, and have tryed out the combo boxes there, and there are two different ways to work, whether you are using Jaws 10 - 11, or earlyer version's. Well, if someone have disabled the autoforms mode in Jaws 10 - 11, than it work's just as in the earlyer version's. So let me begin with the older versions: When getting to a combobox, press enter, to activate the forms mode. Than press alt+down arrow to open the listbox, and then arrow down through the combobox. You can also use first letter to jump to a particular letter, and than use the arrow key's to find what you are searching for.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Combo boxes
Hi, these must be combo boxes that work by java script instead of incorporating a regular submit button designed using html plain. This has the advantage of the screen changing immidiately when the user flipps through the available choices. A screen reader needs to parse the java script before making a choice in order to present the user with a virtual list of choices from which one is able to pick without actually manipulating the situation of the web page itself. Jaws does have a mechanism for that. I am courious to know the vo solution for this one.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Combo boxes
Hi Hans, I am using Jaws 9 on this computer but it doesn't work like that here for me. First letter navigation works but immediately I am thrown out of the box to some other part of the page without the selection being read. For example I wanted to select Toronto. Toledo was the first 'T', it was selected once I turned Forms Mode off and relocated the box. Hit enter again to get back into Forms Mode and hit 'T' again and off focus goes somewhere else. Turning off forms Mode again and relocating the combo box confirmed that Toronto had been selected. then down to the next box to select Buffalo Airport or at least discover it it is an option. As it turns out it is an option but the second one so again another round into and out of forms mode. I do have Jaws 11 but have only installed it on my work computer. The joys of Jaws 11 come with composing documents and spell checking MS-Word 2003. Ultimately things just go silent, I cannot close jaws, cannot save my work and close Word, mostly the keyboard stops working or if it doesn't the computer stops talking so I can't tell what the keyboard response is. Only resolution is to hit the power button. Since Jaws 11 comes up as the default I often forget when working in Word to close it and load Jaws 9. Sometimes I become aware that something isn't keeping up with me as I type, I get the occasional beep from the computer as if I hit two keys simultaneously. When this begins to happen it reminds me to save my work, kill Jaws and bring back Jaws 9 and all goes well. I am conflicted about replacing 9 with 11 on this machine not sure of the advantages.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Combo Boxes in Firefox 3
I like those intentional decisions. Automatic updates when you don't expect them can be very frustrating! I still can't understand why the station list combo box on that particular site (zap2it) are not available, even when pressing Alt down arrow. In IE 7, there are 771 entries in this combo box and only one in Firefox 3 (It says, 1 of 1). Could it be the use of non-standard coding by the web developers? Or is it the sheer number of entries? It certainly can't fit on the screen.

Make your selection using the Arrow Keys, then Alt+Up Arrow to accept that selection. Unlike other browsers, this does not automatically load a new page in dynamic comboboxes. Instead, you have to press Tab once to get focus away from it. This is intentional behavior to always guarantee full control over what's happening and not pull a focused item out from under you. The announcement of collapsed is also intentional. It indicates that this combobox is not dropped down and that there are items to find by dropping it down. Hope this helps!

You will probably not see the series of combo boxes mentioned unless you at least enter a zip code and then select a cable/satellite provider. I went further and customized my listings by creating an account and selecting the stations, sort order, and how I want to view the grid. I don't think you need to do this.
