1- click on the text which is before the form controls (e.g. click
anywhere in the words "Your Name")
2- Trigger the accesskey in bold:
(alt + key in IE, alt + shift + key in Firefox,
shift + escape + key in Opera, alt + key in Safari
for Windows, ctrl, key in Konqueror 3.5)
In both types of tests, the browser passes the test if the associated form control gets focus. Eg: a blinking caret appears at the beginning of the text field input.
