No, I'm not fooling around with the server, just trying to make one
little box wher eyou put in your thoughts read correctly. I am
trying to figure out if the control is an input or text area.
As for finding a page that works, I am still looking.

I think Jane's problem is with how VoiceOver is reading her forms
clientside (i.e. in the HTML layer) not how her forms are being
processed serverside by Perl or Java or whatever. The installation
base of serverside languages is irrelevant, since they don't need
to be installed on every client. The accessibility of authoring
tools is relevant, but since Java servers can be operated from the
command line and Java can be authored in a text editor, there's no
intrinsic need for the Java Access Bridge even for the developer.

The information is available and you'll find it by searching for
and reading up on html forms. For html forms to work some java
usually gets executed. Could it be done with perl and cgi?
Probably, but I haven't run into any code examples of that yet.
Should it be done using perl? Yes since full java installations
don't exist on every computer and for users with accessibility
needs the java access bridge probably needs to be installed and
working properly too. With perl, you don't need any of that extra
stuff.

I have a question for you HTML types.
How do you make a text box where you submit comments say what it
is when you tab over it in Safari? This text area tag does not
appear to work. VO only says "edit box" or something when I tab
across it. I can't give you a link, but I am sure you have seen
those boxes where there is no label but you are allowed to put
text in.
