Hi List,
Thanks for your valuable previous response on JAWS 15 shortcuts on
ARIA Landmarks
Yes I indeed missed out on "R' key for navigating ARIA Region.
This time I have a new query for which please visit the following page

http://gregfranko.com/jquery.selectBoxIt.js/

The combo box used here has a jquery plugin called "selectboxit"
developed by Greg franko which is not accessible. The problem is were
using it in one of our projects ,Can anybody tell me what suggestions
I can pass to developers in order to make it accessible, given the
constraint that "Can't do away with this jquery plugin as it required
by the project."
What ARIA Role , States , & Properties we can insert .

Right now the only closest suggestion I can think of is the following jsfiddle
