Re: [orca-list] Interacting with file data entry field

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,

As far as I known when using file html input it does not allow entering a 
path and the file name. It's often implemented as a browse button within 
the browsers. Clicking the button should show native open dialog (gtk file 
chooser in case of running firefox on linux). When a file has been selected 
the filename is printed next to the browse button. You should be able to 
read that when orca is in browse mode.
If you would like to have read only edit field with the value, the best you 
can do is adding yet another html input and populating it with some javascript.

Greetings

Peter
