This has been a problem with this control in standard HTML for as long
as I remember - the part of the control that your tab focus lands on
with JAWS depends on the direction that you approach it. Tab backwards
to it and you'll land on the browse button. Not good enough to call it
accessible, of course...

Subject: [WebAIM] ASP.net 2005 forms and JAWS



Hi All,

I have created web based application, which includes file upload
control. I am using ASP.net 2005-file upload control. I am using JAWS
7.0 for testing my web-based application.



JAWS fails to access the 'Browse' button while navigating using
'TAB' key. However I can access the button from the "Forms List Dialog
Box" of JAWS-INSERT+F5. It gives the problem only when I am in 'Forms
Mode' and use the 'TAB' key to move between fields. JAWS fail to read
the label of the 'Browse' button.



Has anyone encountered similar problem while creating web forms
using ASP.net 2005?



Any help with this regards will be highly appreciated.
