And yes, I do use a screen reader, and thanks for the suggestion to search
for the error message. Much easier to find that way.

Hi Robin,
Are you using a screen reader to access the page? If so, the error message might not be read if you are in forms mode. Try using the find command to search for the word error.

It's a .txt file. The name is: beatie.txt

If there was a problem with the ISBN number, it would say so. Several times, I have entered an ISBN number from a Spanish book and been told that it's invalid, when it's exactly what was in the book. So I know that you'd see something if that was the problem.

to be exact.
The only other field that might be a problem is my isbn number....I'm at a loss. I even copied the file into my root directory so I wouldn't have a long string to rrite out in the upload file field.
Cheers,
Robin
