[Trainer-talk] internet explorer and the download file dialogbox

Hello.
I'd like to add another comment to this discussion.  With IE9 the 
student will encounter a "save split button" which should be identified 
in those words by the screen reader.  When you are focussed on this 
button pressing the enter key, if my memory is correct, will actually 
not bring up the save dialog box you are used to dealing with in prior 
versions of IE.  Instead, pressing enter on the save split button begins 
the download and places it in the downloads folder.  However, pressing 
the right arrow key on this button will open up a submenu of options.  
One of these options should be a "save as" option.  If you press enter 
on that option you'll get the standard save dialog box you're looking for.
