I have a layout that consists of a group of boxes. Each box is in a div and
is a link to another page with more information, but there is content in
each box including a span with a role="heading" aria-level="2. I have
applied an aria-label to the box. JAWS 18 with IE 11 is ignoring all the
content in the box including listing the headings--it just reads the
aria-label. But I am told using the arrow keys, NVDA and Voiceover pick up
the heading 2s. Any advice?
