Hi Martin,

Did you ever get any responses from this? If not, I would be willing to test
any solutions you have come up with to see how they work in the windows
environment.

Subject: [WebAIM] Any suggestions for what ARIA roles / accessibility
capabilities should be used for a 'folder' view

I am working on a Web application that presents a list of documents /
folders like you see in your typical Operating System. The view we want to
present is similar to the 'Icon' view in OS X, with folder and document
icons arranged in rows within a scrollable view pane.

We want the application to ultimately be 508 compliant and will be using
VoiceOver for checking accessibility via a screen reader.

Any help, guidance, or suggestions would be appreciated.
