Description

Firefox 7.0.1 JAWS 13 Tabs demo 1.9pre

Problem

The semantics of a tablist are not recognized by JAWS.

Solution

  1. The list of tabs should be marked up w/ role='tablist'.
  2. Each tab should be marked up with role='tab'
  3. Each tab panel should be marked up with role='tabpanel'
