[stylist] jaws question

[Donna Hill]

Robert,
That's the way it used to work, but some of them are just not tagged right
for screen readers. A study that came out in 2011 said that 80 % of the
internet is inaccessible. It's rare to find a site where everything has been
set up to work properly with screen readers, and the problem is getting
worse not better. We need something equivalent to the building permit system
which makes sure people don't put up hospitals, office buildings, hotels and
the like without elevators and wheelchair ramps and accessible bathrooms.
Digital access is far cheaper than brick and mortor obstacles to fix, even
if it has to be retrofitted . Now, we are really relying on the good will of
each individual web designer. Even the federal sites have major issues. One
of my axes to grind has to do with the fact that many elected
representatives don't have accessible ways for blind constituents to access
them.

Gee Whiz! I cannot picture that one!? Like you are saying that it selects
and pops off the option And after it starts --- whatever, you then of course
would be out of the combo box.
Yeah, do as Justin recommended, if you need to go into a combo box, then do
the alt+arrow down, and then you are in a properly opened and active combo
box, all awaiting for your command.
