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.
