FILE is a TYPE attribute value to the INPUT element for FORMs. It
allows the user to enter a filename that can be used as input for the
form. To allow this, the author must specify a new ENCTYPE attribute
value in the FORM element: ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"
Description:
This attribute specifies the MIME types that the form processing server
and script should correctly handle. A browser may use this information
to filter out non-conforming files when prompting a user to select
files to upload.
Values:
Comma-separated list of MIME types.

Description:
"Tabbing" is a method of giving access/focus to an active HTML
element using a standard keyboard sequence. All the active elements in a
document can be cycled through using this sequence (ex: Windows TAB key.)
The order of the active elements in this cycle is usually the order they
occur in the document, but the TABINDEX attribute allows a different order
to be established. The use of this attribute should create the following
tabbing order cycle if the browser supports the attribute:
Active elements using the TABINDEX attribute with positive integers are
navigated first. Low values are navigated first.
Active elements not specifying any TABINDEX attribute
Those elements carrying a DISABLED attribute or using negative TABINDEX
values do not participate in the tabbing cycle.
Values: Positive or negative integers.
