Hi Golam, I'm trying to understand the use case for these two modes aside from the fact that ValueNow helps overcome a bug in NVDA.
Why would a implementor want to use valuenow over valuetext? What benefits does it yield? I'm trying to get an understanding so I can incorporate these two modes of progress into the new demo. - Jonathan. --- Jonathan Hung / [email protected] <[email protected]> IDRC - Interaction Designer / Researcher Fax: (416) 977-9844 On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 4:28 PM, Chowdhury, Golam <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > We have address the issue for FLUID-3671 and the latest version is > available in the trunk.
