JAWS/NVDA ordered lists on IE 8 and 9

We have an ordered list and use css to set the list style type to upper-alpha. Both JAWS and NVDA, with IE 8 and 9, read 1., 2., 3. instead of A., B.,C. Other browsers work fine and it also works as expected in Safari with VoiceOver.


One solution I had is a bit messy and that is to include hidden text pushed off of the page. So, JAWS/NVDA would read 1. A., 2. B., and so on. That can get a bit cluttered.


Is there a clean way to overcome this without cluttering the html or the screen reader?


Thanks!
