Re: Does this Javascript bring focus to expanded content?

This works well with IE9 and Jaws 13 (Jaws starts reading the revelaed
list or paragraph after you activate the link with the enter key).
Firefox with IE9 does not work so well. Once you activate it will jump
over the revealed content and read the next thing after.
If hitting enter on the "reveal list" NVDA will next read "reveal
paragraph" and you have to use arrow up to see the list. If activating
"reveal paragraph" NVDA will read "this text is always vissible).
Granted NVDA works much better with Firefox and IE, and I can test it
a bit later today, but these are first impressions.
