Hi list. I just encountered one of those tricky combo boxes that JAWS has trouble dealing with. I'm trying to purchase new foam cushions for my sofa from buyfoam.com, but when I get to the page to calculate shipping charges, there is a combo box with a list of states. But when I focus on this combo box and hit Enter to open it and then try to scroll through it with down arrow or use first letter navigation to select New York, the first state on the list, Alabama is automatically selected. If I open the combo box by hitting Enter and then try Alt-down arrow to scroll down the list of states, I remain stuck on Alabama. There does not appear to be any way to "freeze" this list so that you can scroll through it to select the state you want. As soon as you press the down arrow key, forms mode is turned off and the first state is selected. Alt-down arrow does not seem to work. And Insert-F8 just brings up the tool bar. Is there any work around for this problem? Interestingly, the other combo boxes on this site seem to work normally. I'm using JAWS 9 with XP. Thanks for any help.
