Thought I’d pass this on:

 

Matthew Atkinson has done some nice work by adding basic support for tabbed browsing to the ARIA landmarks keyboard navigation Firefox extension that was originally created by David Todd.

Subject: [free-aria] Next Navigation Focussable

 

Hi,

 

In my current asp page all the components are showing and hiding in a one single page.

 

I am using safari with VoiceOver screen Reader.

 

When I click on Ctrl+Option+Next Command, the behavior is to navigate the next element on the page, but it is navigating to the hidden elements as well actually it should not.

Based on some conditions, I am showing few elements and hiding few elements. But the issue here is it is navigating to the hidden elements as well when I navigate sequentially.

 

Is there any way to focus a particular element, when I click on CTRL+OPTION+NEXT command?

When I try with focus() javascript method, it is focussing that particular element but VoiceOver is not reading the same and at the some time navigation is not happening from the focussed element onwards.

 

Thanks In Advance,

Bala.

I fixed the issue by using 'aria-hidden' attribute set to true when I hide a particular div and false when I show it.
