Hi everyone!
After much work, and rework on developer toolkit over the past week or
so, I am ready to announce the availability of developer toolkit
0.2.0-beta! Developer toolkit 0.2.0-beta introduces new and exciting
features such as the ones listed below.
* Navigate the DOM while viewing a live page in the browser!
* DOM navigation features include:
- Move to document root
- Move to next sibling
- Move to previous sibling
- Move to first child
- Move to parent
* When moving to a new object on the page, developer toolkit will
announce the provided tag and the HTML id attribute associated with the
object. If an id attribute is not present, developer toolkit will use
the IA2 unique ID found in the system. In the event a tag is not present
such as text directly typed into a div or other tags, developer toolkit
will alert you about a missing tag associated with the text.
* Have you ever needed to know the size of the text block inside of an
edit field or div? Developer toolkit will allow the user to drill down
into controls that allow text blocks without tags. No more worries about
edit fields or divs that are too large for their content!
* Developer toolkit will put focus on elements not designed to have
focusable states. Examples include divs, text directly typed into
controls or divs, used for layout purposes.
* Pressing a shortcut key will have NVDA speak a summary of the focused
objects. Currently, the summary includes child count, sibling count,
height and width.
* Pressing a shortcut key will bring up a detailed report of the control
in a virtual buffer. At the moment, it only shows the focused object's
size and position. Other information will be added in future updates.
* NVDA will announce a message indicating that navigation in the DOM is
not possible when outside of the page content. Such places include
Firefox menus and other dialogs.
