Good to be part of the group now. I'm developing a WebApp for the Blind community which I'm part of; Its a Braille Reference guide. I"ve run into a problem with VoiceOver(VO) jumping around when switching pages. It occurs in iOS 4.3.5 & 5.0.1. Apparently Voiceover focus can be influenced based on the previous WebPages Orientation or Layout when you double-tapped your link of submission (input tag in my case). So instead of VO focusing and reading content from the top of the next page it could start at the bottom, middle, top; pretty much anywhere depending on where the item was you tapped on. I'd love some input on how to deal with this, if there's a WAI-ARIA solution that Safari supports, perhaps some other sort of Dashcode solution. I've entertained using JavaScript to hide everything on the page but the top Navigation bar thus forcing VO to read that first... in theory. But I can't figure out how to trigger an event to the show all the rest of the content. I was thinking of using a mouseover or mouseout function but VO doesn't interact with any of those; at least in a way I understand yet. I've already considered tabindex to force VO to the top element but that only works with keyboard driven screen readers so no go there. I'm consulting Apple's Accessibility team who is very helpful but I'd love some feedback incase they don't have a solution. Maybe a Landmark feature; I'm not sure at this point... could really use some ideas.
