     That urks me, too.  In many web sites that have a state field, you can
at least type the first letter of your state, but you still have to use the
mouse, unless your state is the first one that starts with any given letter.
When I type "W", "WA" pops up, so I still have to use the mouse to select
"WI".  If I try to type "W" then "I", the popup box jumps to "IA".

      For example, jump to the state field on this website:

er-_-NA

      "W" takes me to "Washington", but if I then type "I" it takes me down
to "International".   I can avoid using my mouse if I type "W" and then down
arrow twice, to get past West Virginia.
