Re: JAWS and disabled combobox options

From a developer/UI perspective and with a database backend: the user would select the state and then the county select would be populated. I think a list with all the counties in the US would be rather long and if you lived in a state that in near the end of the alphabet, that would take some time to get through the list whether you are sighted or not.

Basically, designing a good UI would be the key to not having a select with options disabled.
