Description Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2016-11-01 13:42:10 EDT 
In edit.html, the following code (which seems to be a work-around for browser inconsistencies) causes a problem for accessibility because the input is hidden from sighted users, but not from keyboard users or AT users.

<!-- file input doesn't function properly on all web browsers if it is dynamically generated, we don't want the input to be visible -->
<input id="fileSelectorInput" type="file" multiple style="position:fixed; top: -100px;"/>
