Re: <button> tag not getting activated with tab or enter key when using JAWS

aloha, devin!

no idea why, but the same problem is encountered when using the latest
release of JAWS, 10.0.1151, and FF 3.0.10 on WinXP SP3

devin, have you tried (or do you use) WebVisum -- it's option to force
rendering of a submit mechanism for form controls without an explicit 
submit mechanism and provides a submit mechanism (and a "safety") on 
form controls which rely on OnChange or OnSelect events to input form 
information, which is obviously extremely helpful, plus the info WebVisum 
provides is included when one uses JAWS' "list of form fields" -- with
JAWS 10.0.1151 it is possible to use the list of form fields to activate 
a BUTTON which i one cannot otherwise activate using the spacebar or 
enter

more info on webvisum can be found at at:
