It should select the entire file-upload-field element IMO, which is Mozilla and Opera's behaviour. IE/Win's choice, of selecting the text part and the button part separately, is inconsistent, though sometimes more useful. > Are these form controls some type of replaced content? W3 seem to avoid specifying anything about it. Probably quite wisely, given that different platforms have wildly different ideas on what a file upload interface should look like, and coming up with a standard that could cover all that would be tricky. The alternative, specifying that all browsers MUST have a filename field and a 'browse' button, would upset many people. > I don't remember the UI module talking about > this case Indeed, the 'Scope' section deliberately rules out consideration of what file upload fields are like. BTW anyone looking for a way to style file upload field parts separately could do worse than to check out: http://and.doxdesk.com/software/js/upload.html -- Andrew Clover Technical Consultant 1VALUE.com AG
