Open JAWS-test opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

Summary

  • Label and role of Live Regions are not output correctly
  • Live regions are not recognized as standalone elements when reading
  1. Save as HTML file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
	<head>
		<meta charset="utf-8">
		<title>live region</title>
	</head>
	<body>

		after
		<h2>status</h2>
		before
		<div aria-label=message4 role='status' tabindex=0>content4</div>
		after
		<h2>alert</h2>
		before
		<div aria-label=message5 role='alert' tabindex=0>content5</div>
		after
	</body>	
</html>
  1. read with arrow keys
