Like it says in subject line, ARIA is a form of standard supported by
both the w3c, and a few other groups, software providers, etc.
I haven't been doing too much with it, directly, up to now, due to my
standard old mantra of "cross-platform, backward compatibility", and
this is since while thisn't a brand new thing, it's still not
necessarily something that received focused from assistive software
providers, especially in terms of possibly older versions of said
software, but, that's partly why I'd like some people to test the
following simple little webpage for me on whatever platforms they can,
using whatever screen readers they can, etc. etc. - as in, PC with jaws,
NVDA, window-eyes, dolphin, mac with voiceOver, as well as android,
iPhone, blackberry and windows lumia, and there using whatever browser
options you have, and, please just let me know if this page acts
similarly across the platforms?
It does require javascript to be operating, so not sure if it will
cooperate too well with linux-based OS/browser/screen-readers, but, if
you've got them, please test that for me as well.
And, if you just test it on one, please just let me know what the
combination was, and tell me what you noticed.
Page is here:
http://www.blindza.co.za/aria/
And, it has some text areas on it, a heading, which should also then
render as a banner, a form area with only one field in it that might
tell you some additional information about being a required field, and
then there's a button slightly lower down on page, and that's sort of
the one element am mainly interested in - as in, if you activate it,
what happens? As in does your screen reader tell you anything, and how
does it describe any possible changes?
I have played around with this on my windows 10 laptop using both IE11,
and chrome 52, along with latest NVDA, and, narrator - funny enough, in
IE11, narrator also reacts, but, not when using chrome.
However, if fire this up in microsoft edge, then narrator reacts, but,
NVDA doesn't - yet.
But, yes, am not going to tell you immediately what to expect, since
that would spoil this tiny bit of testing, but, there's no form of 'bad'
content here, and am not trying to garner any cookie information, etc.
etc....blah...blah...<smile>
Thanks in advance
