Hello all, The actual support for ARIA in Yahoo! Search at www.ysearch.com is on the search results page. However, as Chris already pointed out, Safari4 does nto support live regions so you will not be able to fully enjoy the sweetness of web 2.0 interaction. You can still enjoy shortcut keys that we introduced to allow the user move between search suggestions and search related concepts panes using left and right arrows, moveinside of these panes with up and down arrows and navigate between the search field and the first search result with ctrl+shift+downArrow and ctrl+shift+upArrow.
Enjoy as I do! Thanks, Victor On 4/13/09, Chris Blouch <[email protected]> wrote: > Hmm.
