Html form

<< Accessibility

If the submit/reset buttons were replace with the a/div blocks.

Before:

<input type='text' name='text1'> <br />
<input type='reset' value='Reset' name='reset'>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"> 

After:

<input type='text' name='text1' tabindex="1"> <br />
<div id="clear_my_form" tabindex="2"><a href="#">reset</a></div>
<div id="submit_my_form" tabindex="3"><a href="#">submit</a></div>

takes the Accessibility issues into consideration:

• tabindex: Users are able to press tab key to jump to next form element.
• press space key or enter key to trigger the reset or submit the form.
• press enter key to submit the form in any input box.
