Re: Support for aria-busy

WebKit also exposes this to the OS X Accessibility API as AXAriaBusy. If you download the developer tools from developer.apple.com, they include a utility app called the Accessibility Inspector, which allows you to display the AX tree and node properties.

So to answer your question, several *browsers* currently expose this to APIs, but to my knowledge, no *screen readers* expose it to the user yet.

I've tested in JAWS 12 + IE 8, JAWS 12 + FF 3.5, and NVDA + FF 3.5.  Anyone have any working examples of aria-busy?
