Hi Everyone,

We have address the issue for FLUID-3671 and the latest version is available in 
the trunk. Fluid Progress component now provides the option to the integrator 
to switch between aria-valuenow and aria-valuetext. By setting the ariaBusyText 
to empty string will default to aria-valuenow and if ariaBusyText is set to 
some string then aria-valuetext will be enable. I have included some of the 
tests for the new feature and please note that we have found some issues with 
our progress demo page which we are in process of fixing.

Thanks,

Golam Chowdhury

Subject: FLUID-3671  Screen reader a11y and usability issues with Progress 
(esp. lack of feedback for screen reader users)

Hi Everyone,

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

Summery of our conversation in regards to finding solution for progress issue:
1. We provide a configuration option for users(implementers) to be able to 
customize the content of the aria-valuetext for the Progress component.
2. If an implementor doesn't provide anything for valuetext such as empty 
string, we fall back to using aria-valuenow. The idea here is that we let 
implementers choose what experience is best for their application.

Please let us know your thoughts?
