Hello:
I.E. 8 does not fully support ARIA so it may be I.E. in this case any way you can test with ff or I.E. 9

Hi Birkir:
When I was testing this I was using IE8. I was also using Jaws 13.0.527.
When I tabbed between the User name and password fields, Jaws spoke "Region landmark" and then spoke the appropriate label for the field with focus.

In version 12 Jaws spoke the main landmark followed by all of the text between the landmark and the field with focus. I have not tested using Firefox.

I have since downloaded jaws 13.0.638. Jaws continues to speak region landmark when you tab to these fields.

When I looked at the enhancements listed for this version, I found the
following:
●JAWS is now less verbose when announcing the start or end of ARIA regions on Web pages.

Hi

Do you mean that you go to "sign in with Twitter" and the problem is on that page?

If so, I can confirm that Jaws 13 (latest update 13.0.527( with IE9 only reads "username required" and "Password required" when I use "e"
or tab to get to these fields.
This applies both with user vrebosity = advanced and beginner.
When I select the main landmark, however, Jaws reads a whole lot of text, not sure if it is a Jaws bug or webpage problem.
hth, I'd be happy to test with other browsers as of tomorrow (finally get my new development machine, this one has been on its last leg for
2 months now *grin*).
