JAWS announces that an inline edit area is a button

Description

A protocol for accessing and using the inline edit area must be made available to a JAWS user:

  • JAWS announces that an inline edit area is a button.

  • no indication about how to make or save an edit

  • no indication that an edit is successful

  • the JAWS virtual buffer needs to be refreshed or the user will not be able to see the changes made.

"Redo" "Undo" buttons also need to be accessible to a screen reader.

Environment

MacBook running JAWS 10 on XP with VMWare Windows XP / JAWS 10

I code reviewed this with a whole group of Inline Edit JIRA issues for 1.3 and it is fine.

Committed Mike's patch ( textEditButtonFocus.txt ) which fixes the focus issue when leaving edit mode.

Appended an image button to the end of the inline edit container. The inline edit is now more screen reader friendly as the button is given an ARIA role of button and the inline edit container is given an ARIA tooltip.
