Re: Submitting forms via javascript: Button vs. link vs. other?

Yes, as a JAWS and Window-eyes user I have seen this a lot on pages where the button is really more like a link even though the sighted user sees it as a button. In reality its a javascript that has the graphical look of a button but triggers much like a link so the AT package never sees that it really is meant to be a button.
