Please review our resolutions for the following comments, and reply to us

Your comment:
-------------
According to the WAI-ARIA 1.0 Authoring Practices, spinbuttons should
adjust the value when the user presses the left or right arrow keys.
However, this makes manually editing the value very difficult since you
can't move the cursor between the existing characters. Even the dojo
example linked to from the Authoring Practices doesn't implement the
left/right arrow handling. We're currently creating a spinbutton control in
jQuery UI and we are also intentionally leaving out the handling for left
and right arrow keys.

We have made this edit as suggested.
