I'm still struggling with this problem of jaws not reading the choices in a combo box. I now think it has something to do with java scripts; In thinking back, I recently installed internet explorer 9 and that's when I think the problem began. I had no trouble with the older version of internet explorer. I have looked on the jaws lite home page but have found nothing that helps. I'm open for suggestions. Thanks,
