of ToolTip and Lightbox<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hi Nicaise,<BR><BR>Dojo Dijit Tooltip works out of the box with no
modifications in JAWS with Firefox (3.5+) and IE (tested with version 8). For
unknown reasons, it does not work with NVDA. I am not sure why, because there is
no doubt NVDA supports role alert and role tooltip with Firefox. (You can verify
by checking the examples here: <A

for the lightbox problem, from what you describe, my vote goes with "it's a JAWS
problem."<BR><BR clear=all>Best regards,<BR>ken<BR>---<BR> Ken Petri

class=gmail_quote>Hi all,<BR>I have a couple of issues and I hope someone can
help.<BR>1. Is it possible at this time to make toolTip developed using dojo
and ARIA<BR>accessible to screen readers, e.g. JAWS? If yes could someone
share a sample<BR>code or point me where I can find sample codes to do that?
If no, could<BR>someone recommend or suggest a workaround or alternative to
toolTip<BR>functionality?<BR><BR>2. How about dojo-supported lightbox? We have
an implementation using ARIA<BR>that seems to work well with NVDA and System
Access but not with JAWS. In<BR>other words, JAWS is not alerted when the
lightbox opens thus does not read<BR>its content automatically. Furthermore,
JAWS does not see the cancel button<BR>that serves to close the lightbox while
NVDA and System Access respond<BR>perfectly well. Could this be a JAWS problem
or is there something else we<BR>are not doing? The dilemma here is since
around 75% of users use JAWS, we<BR>want to make sure that we can make it work
for JAWS users or find a work<BR>around, what would this workaround be? any
idea?<BR><BR>Any assistance, advice or guidance with regards to this would be
very
much<BR>appreciated.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Nicaise<BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Athen
