Hi,
This is the default HTML behavior. It's not a JAWS problem.

Subject: [program-l] HTML: Form Mode


Hello:

Ok, another day, another issue. My JSP page has a number of edit fields, a 
calculate button and a submit button. So I enter data by first hitting enter on 
an edit field that sets my cursor to Forms Mode and I enter the value. Pressing 
the TAB key takes me to the next field and so on. Upon filling all of the 
required fields I press enter on the calculate button and my validation routine 
is performed. In this example I have mistakenly entered a alpha value into a 
numeric field and an error message informs me of such.

So, I need to change my value, I first select the edit field, press enter to 
allow me to edit the field I.E. Forms Mode is again evoked.... I enter the new 
value.... At this point I can either tab to the calculate button or hit enter 
to take me out of the Forms Mode and scroll the page to locate the calc 
button.... However, hitting enter after entering the value somehow evokes my 
validation routine!

This is not the expected behaviour because there might be more then one value 
to be changed. So, what's actually going on here?

J.
