Ok, I agree!Since i am the starter of the formsmode debate, this is the best solution form entering formfields.

depending on the structure of the document. Seems that the escape key would be a good mechanism for escaping from whatever field your in, regardless of how you got there. It closes menus, should colapse a combobox, and could be made to allow one to arrow away from a textarea. If any printable character were typed after an escape, then it would be entered into the textarea and the effects of escape would be canceled. Agreed that it sounds a bit like forms mode too, but how does one handle the case of the textarea without special activation or escape-from keys?
There still is the focus-problem and the difference in handeling between Java and .NET. I am sure it can be donne, but we have to cope with refreshing of fields, popups, sliders and specially multi-sellectable comboboxes. Many of the recruitmentsites use these and to be honest IE works better then Firefox with these forms at the moment.
Sorry for the bad grammar.I shall retest the sites with the newest vergion of Orca and let you know which results i have discovered.
