Re: Is this a problem with ARIA implementation on authoring site or a problem with Jaws?

Hi Donald:
I tried this example using Jaws 12.0.1269 (current version) and
Internet explorer 8.

When I activated the button the focus moved to the heading as
intended.

When I moved back to the button to collapse the text Jaws did not
correctly report the updated state of the button when I collapsed the
text. I had to update the virtual buffer by pressing Insert plus
escape. This is a common problem unfortunately.

This did however work with this version of jaws with Firefox 4.0.1
