Re: ARIA applications and document text

hi Everett,

just tested it in jaws 11 and NVDA

Seems to work OK, find it appears better to have tabindex set on the
container element that has the document role set, as it is then
included in the tab order so a user would encounter it when tabbing.

example code:

<body role="application">

<input type="text" title="test">

<div role="document" tabindex="0"><p>Authors SHOULD set the role of
document on the element that encompasses the entire document. If the
document role applies to the entire web page, authors SHOULD set the
role of document on the root node for content, such as the body
element in HTML or svg element in SVG.</p></div>

 <input type="text" title="test">

</body>


regards
steve

by the way, read the drupal issue thread about title and alt use,
agree with you on that.


regards

Steve
