Nathan,

Without any extra information, the only reasonable defect is that the pulled down menus do not have the Escape key coded in their JavaScript code. In other words, when you press Escape the browser is unsure what to do.

Subject: [WebAIM] pull down list

Dear list,

I have a pull down menu with my application that I test however, I am unable to hit escape using my jaws screen reader to get out of the menu but if I hit tab I can escape out of the menu. Shouldn't escape allow you to get out of the menu? Thanks.

Sincerely,
Nathan Clark
