I tried this last night, and it didn't talk until I tabbed and shift tabbed
back. Then it said the letter. Pam.

Subject: RE: Combo boxes on the BARD site
Hi Lou,
Thanks for taking the time to test this on your PC. I am glad to hear that
the author combo box on BARD is working well for you and others when using
the correct techniques. The steps you listed in your message follow best
practices for interacting with combo boxes. And, I wanted to clarify that
these keyboard techniques are not tied directly to Window-Eyes. This
keyboard support (i.e. Alt-Down to open, Up/Down or first letter navigation
to change selection, Enter to close) is built right into the combo box
control and web browser whether you are using a screen reader or not.
Holding down Alt while Down Arrowing is not the correct technique for
navigating through the options in a combo box and is not a Window-Eyes
feature.
Best,
Marc

Hey, Larry.
I don't remember ever having an issue on the BARD web site. I just went
there and logged in and did this.
Pressed the letter C to jump to the author's last name combo box.
Pressed enter to exit browse mode.
Pressed and released Alt-down arrow to expand the combo box.
Note: At this point, Window-Eyes announced that the control had expanded and
called the control a list view.
Arrowed down--in this case--to the letter M.
Note: Window-Eyes spoke each letter as it was highlighted.
Pressed Enter to close the combo box-come-list view.
Note: Window-Eyes voiced that the control was closed. I forget exactly what
WE said.
Tabbed to the go button and pressed spacebar.
In your previous posts, it sounded like you are holding the alt key down
while arrowing. It's been a while since I've read the WE manual. Is this a
new Window-Eyes feature? I forgot to check whether that key combination
works; fireworks and a neighbor trying to get his toddler son to sleep kept
me up kinda late. <wan smile>.

The combo box is author's last name.

I think he's talking about the combo box where you can search by
author's last initial, and the other one is different jenre's box.

Larry,
I don't know what combo box you are referring to. Can you please
describe where the combo box is and how you navigate to it.
Thanks,
Marc

Mark,
I just press enter on the combo box, turning off browse mode, then I
either arrow down through the letter options, or hold down the alt
key and do the same. I do not hear the chosen letter option spoken
at all, unless I tab away and back. I just don't think it is
supposed to work this way.
As I've said before, the combo boxes aren't unnavigable, I can
simply press a desired letter and get to where I'm trying to go, but
I would like to have the other option open to me on this page, and
others like it. if at all possible. Who knows, maybe I just have a
wrong setting somewhere, or something.
