HTML DOM File Up Load Object

Greetings:

We are using the standard HTML DOM File Upload object where and when applicable, however when testing on a Windows 7, IE 8, and JAWS 13 I have experienced odd behavior with the input field.

E.G. The edit field associated doesn't permit input even though I am in the JAWS "Forms Mode". Sometimes but not each time if I manually enter forms mode the brows button is evoked.

...and at other times it seems that I'm trapped in the object. I should say that it appears to be trapped yet a press of the TAB key or the TAB / SHIFT combination will move me out of the so called trap. For all intentional purposes it seems that there is two instances of the object.

Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

I have tested the same page via Fire Fox and all appears well.

Jim
