about it, either one of them may suggest some options for you, other then
that, I'm not really sure how to fix this type of issue.

Thank you. Yes, I have tried alt down arrow because that's how I work with
combo boxes in IE, but when I close out of the box that way and go back,
the item I wanted isn't selected. If I hit enter on the item, at least it
is selected when I check back.

Hello there, have you tryed pressing alt plus down arrow to expand the
list boxes? Other then that, I'm not really sure what to do there.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] 2 Firefox questions
Hi Listers,
I recently installed Firefox at work because Jaws 10 with IE 7 just
didn't work to fill out a number of forms that I'm responsible for.
Fortunately, Firefox is doing the job. There are 2 things I can't figure
out with Firefox though.
1. I can't figure out how to turn on the feature to have web addresses
that I go to often auto complete when I start typing the address.
2. In IE what Jaws calls combo boxes are called list boxes in Firefox,
and they seem to operate differently. In Firefox, the only way I can
find to select an item is to hit enter on it. That's not a problem -
although I don't know what will happen when I come across a multi-select
list box. The problem is that after I select an item Jaws doesn't
recognize it when I read through the page to check my work. Jaws just
says "list box collapsed." My work around has been to unload firefox and
go back to IE so that Jaws can read the selections in the combo boxes.
This isn't a big deal, but if there's a better way to handle this, I'd
love to know.
Thank you,
Shari
