Re: form input field with Browse button (type="file")

Thanks for the helpful replies on this! A bit more info: I tried this out in
Internet Explorer 5.5/Win2000 without JAWS, but using just the keyboard.
Again I could tab to the Browse button, but "enter" had no effect. This
seemed odd, so I tried some other possibilities. I tried the space bar and
presto - I got the file access box! So, back to JAWS: the space bar works
there too (in forms mode). (I had just tried "enter" before, and got a
"ding". Still the "Browse" text is not read, so it's not great.
But maybe the input box to type in the file location is a reasonable
alternative.

Carol
