>> Hello to all,
>>
>> This question is for anyone using Jaws with Netflix.  I've discovered 
>> that
>> the drop-down boxes, or "Combo Boxes," as denoted in Jaws, are no longer
>> visible.  They are used to help sort searches, or change from season to
>> season, for instance, if browsing the seasons of a TV series.  I'm
>> wondering
>> if anyone else has experienced this drop in accessibility with Netflix, 
>> or
>> if there are any scripts or work-arounds.  I've used Jaws 14, 10, NVDA,
>> and
>> am using IE8.  With Jaws 14, will try IE9 to see if visibility and access
>> improves.
>>
>> If any Netflix user has any ideas or helps, I would greatly appreciate
>> hearing from you, and you are welcome to respond to my e-mail
>> jtj1 at cableone.net.

>> Thanks in advance.
