Re: testing the CanvasEditor attachment with JAWS12 and IE9 beta (was: Reworked Canvas 2D API using our revised DrawFocusRing)

aloha, rich!

that's what JAWS12 made of 

<canvas tabindex="-1" id="example" height="400" width="750"
role="application">

using IE9 beta

instead of "switching to application mode" as defined at:

http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria/roles#application

i initially didn't check the document source because i assumed the
landmark reported by JAWS12 was role="form" as that was the role i
was going to test myself

gregory.
