a. "The quick brown fox jumped [fluid: short pause ] over the lazy dogs BUTTON and then dot dot dot."

b. to do

Notes: "over the lazy dogs" is the text nested within the element that contains the inline edit class. Some JAWS users in user testing were confused that an editable area was a button, because that was not the behaviour they expected of a button.
A button role may also be inappropriate because after the button is activated, JAWS does not announce the "edit" or "type in text" cues that happen when an element's role is a text input.

Notes: A sighted user could tab to each inline edit and make changes. When a change is made and enter is pressed, JAWS announces the changes made. At the same time, a sighted user will see a "undo" link appear but the screen reader does not announce the presence of the undo link. The undo link is not perceivable to the screen reader unless the user hits tab, in which case they hear "undo link" but the changes that are undone are not announced.
