Re: Using combo boxes in Chrome.

When you open the combo box with alt down arrow, the page reloads, as you say.  but if you press enter on the combo box again, you will be in forms mode and the combo box will be opened.  You can move around in it.  When you find whatever you want, press enter.  This will do what is usually done in combo boxes you open.  the page will reload and the combo box will be set on what you want.

Subject: [nvda] Using combo boxes in Chrome.

Hey all. So far as I know I'm on latest NVDA and latest Chrome. I'm
trying to use the combo boxes on the following site.


http://www.folkways.si.edu/search?query=harmonica


If I hit enter on one, say "content", and use the arrows, it reloads the
page. If I expand it, it reloads the page. If I arrow when it's
expanded, it reloads the page. Anybody know of a fix for this? Right now
they're unusable, and I have a feeling Chrome does this for other sites
too, though I could be wrong about that. I haven't tried Firefox because
I don't think the audio player works for me in Firefox, although I
finally got it working in Chrome, so I'll go check that now, in case it
works any better.
