Louis,

have you ascertained from sighted assistance that there are, in fact,text items in the affected combo boxes? (In other words, that they arenot blank - with no screen-reader loaded?) The scenario being presentedwith at least two sepa rate screen readers and at least two separatebrowsers seems more than coincidental, to be sure. Are you having anyother noteworthy issues elsewhere on your computers, such as stuff notdisplaying correctly? And, not to overlook what seems obvious, are yourwindows being used maximized?

Sorry, i missed the reference to IE (64-bit). I wonder if the 32-bitIE

would work instead however ?

You didn't mention internet Explorer specifically. Have you triedwith

it? Using JAWS, try IE and with the virtual cursor turned off
(JAWSKey+z, which toggles it off and (then next press) on).

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 fillin

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 othersites

without difficulty.

Regards

Louis

Hi Louis,

What browser and version? If Internet Explorer, have you tried
Firefox
instead? have you any earlier JAWS version you could use?

Hi all,

Further to my below message, I looked at a number of sites with
combo
boxes
while at work today. Running Jaws 15, with certain sites the combo
boxes

worked as expected: booking flights for example. However, withother

sites,
there was no feed-back from the combo boxes at all.

Is it possible that certain sites could have moved to a form of
flash
in the
combo boxes? Nothing else occurs.

To Jorge, nothing is spoken by Jaws on certain sites.

Louis

Hi,
Try entering on the combobox, wait then down arrow to the combobox
you
want
and then give it a second.
The screen should change now.

The selected combobox is now transferring money to the other
account.

On the edit box $0.00,
Type in the amount with the numpad.
Then, submit and OK/confirm.

HTH,
Jorge

Hi All,

I know this topic came up some weeks ago.  However, in the past two
days I
experienced similar difficulties in opening combo boxes. It is on a
secure

site, a bank, where I have an account and they have recentlyupdated

their
pages.

I am running JAWs 14, Windows 7 and have tried accessing it with
Firefox and
IE. With FF I locate the combo box, hit enter for forms mode, then
alt
down
arrow. Jaws speaks: "Read only". In IE, I have it set up so that
forms
mode
is automatic, so I hit Alt and Down Arrow. Jaws responds with a
"Blank". I
know that the fields are working as when I type Ireland into the
select
country combo, it is there. However, it is impossible to guess the
options
in the other boxes.

I have also tried NVDA without success. Any ideas?

Louis

The proper key stroke for the choices in a combo box is
Alt+downArrow

Anna, I'm not using JAWS 15, but what happens if you press
control+down
arrow when you're situated on a combobox?
