Hello!

I have just met a listbox that is accessible to neither of my three
screenreaders (Jaws, NVDA or Windows). Nothing can be put into the field
from the keyboard.

Jaws+skift+F1 shows:

class=dropdown

display=block

fsFormField=true

role=listbox

setsize=0

style=text-align: left

tag=div

text-align=left

xml-roles=listbox

MSAA Role!



With this listbox the user has to select one from a lot of countries in the
word.

What is the error? Should not setsize be no of countries or -1 instead of 0?

Best regards

Bo Nilsson Sweden

I believe you are correct. Perhaps you need to enter a few characters into
an associated text entry fieldand then the list box gets populated?
Can you share the URL and is it reachable without an account?
