[WSG] input type=submit and IE6 and 7

2008-02-27 Thread Nancy Johnson
Does anyone know why in IE6 and 7 there is a black outline around
buttons that use input type=submit  instead of input
type=button,  and is there a work around to rid of the outline?

Webaim.org suggests using 'submit' or 'reset' instead of 'button'  to
define the input type.

Would input type=button  be just as accessible?


Thanks in advance

Nancy Johnson

Hi Nancy,
  the reason for the black outline around the submit button in IE6 and 7 is
that IE renders the buttons with the system API, and if you view each
Windows interface, the default button that fires the click event with the
enter too is outlined black.

I think that It would not be at any accessible to make the submit button (
input type=submit ) with a (input type=button ) because you have the
issue of how you make the submit? Via Javascript? And if Javascript is
disabled?

Cheers.
