Re: JAWS 15 Vs JAWS 16 (Carousel widget example)

Here is a prototype of a more accessible carousel we are reviewing at Illinois for accessibility features based on the jquery-ui widget:



http://192.17.26.249/sandbox/carousel



Current accessibility features:

· REGION landmark with label "Carousel" to contain carousel content and controls

· Buttons to move to next and previous slide

· ARIA Listbox widget to move directly to a particular slide

o Left and right arrow keys (currently does not support up and down arrow keys)

o Enter to select the slide to make visible



Questions we are asking and would like feedback on:

1. Use of tabpanel instead of listbox widget roles

2. Keyboard support, including expose slide when option gets focus

3. Better labeling of controls



Any feedback would be very helpful. The results will help influence the bootstrap.js carousel widget and a few other libraries used at Illinois.

Can you point to an example of the carousel? Using the application role for a carousel wouldn't usually be a good thing. That said, I don't believe Jaws has changed it's handling of the application role substantially between v15 and v16.
