As a screen reader user (JAWS Versions 3+ and 4+), it isn't the case that all drop down menus/lists don't work, some are absolutely fine, whilst others won't work well, or at all. I don't know enough of HTML/XML etc, to be able to say what the difference is between those that do and don't work in terms of how the coding/HTML differs. On those that do not work, the problem is generally either that the items are not spoken, or that when trying to move down through the list to find a specific item, the list 'freezes', and just takes you to the item on the list the screenreader is on, before you have chance to move through the list any further.
