Hi,
Does anyone know if Voiceover (on IOS) triggers any browser events as the user swipes through elements on a page?

Thanks,
Tim

VO will trigger onFocus and onBlur automatically, and possibly the mouse events such as onMouseOver and onMouseOut, but I'll need somebody else to verify those last ones since I'm not certain.

Yes onfocus and onblur are triggered by voiceover swipes. onmouseover is triggered with a double tap. Fun stuff :)

Thanks for the help, Patrick, Paul, and Brian! This should really help me be able to track down a potential problem we were seeing in some testing we are doing.
