Re: Need for Increment Buttons?

Hi Brandon,

I've tried the example at:
http://whatsock.com/tsg/Coding%20Arena/ARIA%20Sliders/Vertical/demo.htm on
my Android phone with Talkback running, and on my iPad with Voiceover
running. I can't influence the slider directly - only via the
increment/decrement buttons.

Whilst focus is on the slider in Talkback, there is an announcement that I
can use the volume keys to influence the slider but this does not work for
me.

Whilst focus is on the slider in Voiceover, there is an announcement that I
should swipe up or down with one finger to change the value, but that
doesn't work either.

So I guess they're there as a failsafe for mobile screen reader users.

Regards
Graham Armfield
