Hi,

I would like to know how JAWS reads ListItems marked with levels. When reading the following list, it does nt give any information about its levels. What is the advantage of using aria-level in a role=listitem. in terms of screen readers.. Thanks a lot in advance..

<div role="list">

<div role="listitem" aria-level="2"> Two </div>
<div role="listitem" aria-level="1"> One </div>

</div>


Thanks,
Piumi

Piumi,

I think you want to be using aria-posinset and aria-setsize attributes.

<div role="list">

<div role="listitem" aria-posinset=³1² aria-setsize=³2"> Item #1</div>
<div role="listitem" aria-posinset=³2² aria-setsize=³2"> Item #2</div>

</div>



aria-level would only be useful if you were creating hierarchical lists.

Jon

why aren't you just using a proper HTML list markup?
This seems so much more cumbersome!
Thanks,
Nathalie

That is the preferred solution, always try to use the native semantics of
a mark up language when possible.
