[gui-talk] Combo boxes

[Wayne Merritt]

I think that Dave might have been referring to using a combo box on
the web. In this case, you would press alt down to open the combo box,
at least if you were using JAWS 10 or above, or if you haven't turned
auto detection of forms, otherwise called auto forms mode, in JAWS
off. If you have turned it off, then you would have to press enter to
turn it on then use alt down arrow. Hope this makes sense. Of course,
if you're using JAWS 9 or earlier, then you'll have to turn forms mode
on in the usual way since that version doesn't have the auto forms
mode feature.
