Re: can you make a native <select>/<option> honor the LANG attribute?

There is another curious twist. If you put a "lang" attribute on the <select> element, JAWS ignores it if you press the spacebar to open the list of options and arrow through them. However, if you go into forms mode and arrow through the options while the list is closed, JAWS does honour the "lang" attribute.
