We tried it in jaws 15 latest version and ff same. Have not tried in i.e.
yet. I sent the file to an fs tech rep and he had the same result I did.
So when your clicking the expand jaws tells you it expanded and closed and
no matter how many times you clicked it told you the state change.
Interesting could you give me a phone call to go over this by chance
thanks Lucy

It works fine for me. I tested it using JAWS15 in IE 8 9 and 10 and FF,
and it's not having any problems. I also refreshed the page, reloaded the
url, and again that works too.

Which version of JAWS, browser, and OS are you seeing this on?

Thanks for the feedback. The trigger function now includes
preventDefault(). Unfortunately it didn't solve Lucy's problem though.
A new version is attached in case anyone with Jaws wants to try to
duplicate what she's experiencing.
