Greg - when I made those changes, it had the effect of making it impossible for me to then complete forms. I can't arrow down to make a selection in a combo-box and I can't even complete my logon. I type one letter into the username field and it jumps to the next field which is the password. I type one letter in the password field and it jumps to the submit. I tried this in IE and Firefox.
