Description

Firefox 7.0.1 JAWS 13 Slider demo 1.9pre

Problem

Slider is represented as '#' link. It is necessary to tab to the '#', disable virtual PC cursor (JAWS key + z), then use arrows to move slider, then turn virtual PC cursor back on (JAWS key + z) then to check the value.

Since some demos (color picker) don't display the value in any other way it is impossible to know if the correct value has been selected.

Solution

Provide semantics using WAI-ARIA role="slider" and associated states / properties.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#slider
