Hey Guys, Issues with Screen Reader: Current progress bar does not announce the progress bar status when using NVDA2010 screen reader using Fire Fox 3.5.9 and 3.6.9.
http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-3671 During our testing we have found two options. Option one using aria-valuenow and option two using aria-live. Following I have outlined the pros and cons for both of the options. Option one using aria-valuenow: Pros: -Just need to comment out the aria-valuetext -Works in all cases -Behaves similar to other progress indicators -Doesn't buffer Cons: -Not descriptive in JAWS -Jaws doesn't announce completion Option two using aria-live: Pros: -Descriptive -Announce all progress states -Works in all cases Cons: -More code to add -Buffer announcements (will keep announcing progress after complete) -Behavior different then standard progress indicators I prefer option one because of adding less code for our workaround and it works in most cases. Later on when NVDA fixes their issues with aria-valuetext then this will be a small code fix. I am attaching all the test cases I have tried. Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks, Golam
