[nabs-l] jaws and filling out forms

[Ashley Bramlett]

Arielle,
Glad to know there is a command for multiple selections! Once I find out 
what it is, I can try it. This has been so frustrating. Sighted people click 
a button and check their desired selections.
If someone knows, I'd like to know. I got jaws 12.

I knew the combo box command, I just hope my selection is selected when I go 
to it.
Ashley

Hi Ashley,
There is a separate JAWS command for selecting more than one item in a
multi-select or extended-select list box but I don't remember the
command. I think it's shift-F8? Someone with JAWS savvy please
respond. As for combo boxes, you can open the list with Alt-Down
Arrow, then arrow to the choice you want to select and press enter.
Best,
Arielle
