Hello,
I spent some time trying out version 2.2.0 of SWFUpload with JAWS 9.
http://demo.swfupload.org/v220beta3/overlaydemo/index.php
Please read on for my findings.
Both Flash 9 and 10 gave the same results for JAWS
- The overlayed button appears to only be keyboard accessible in IE7
and this is only true the first time through the tab order
- According to http://ajaxian.com/archives/flash-10-and-the-bad-news-for-javascript-interaction
, keyboard accessibility of flash is only available in IE.
- To activate the overlayed button while using JAWS 9, you need to
have virtual pc cursor turned off
- JAWS does not report anything when on the overlayed button
- The button beneath the overlayed button is part of the tab order and
is reported by JAWS, but doesn't do anything when clicked
Please feel free to comment / ask questions.
Thanks
Justin
