ARIA at www.vons.com ?

>Hi everyone,

Here's a curious item for all of you. ...:

US supermarket site www.vons.com is generally an accessibility
disaster area (esp the safeway.com online ordering section). However,
there is an ARIA AlertDialog in the code on the Vons.com homepage.

Unfortunately I can't figure out what the dialog is supposed to do. ...

In IE6 I get a notification that there is an ARIA Alert Dialog
(though of course it doesn't work).

IE7 & FF3 both show me a
"activityi;src=1411188;type=relau807;cat=homep746;ord=8896695796452"
frame with no content in it.

I'm running Jaws 10 (the now ancient Build 512), but I thought it
would at least work with Firefox. (I don't have IE8 to test at the moment.)

So, if anyone could test www.vons.com with IE8 & screen reader, or
could rummage in the source code, I would be very interested to know
your findings.

Thanks,
Patrick
