Hi Ramon, ARIA is supported in IE 8 and Firefox 3 JAWS started to support ARIA in version 7, the support was only partial.( for example aria live region and landmark role support was only introduced in version 10.) But if you use JAWS 7+ with either Firefox 3 or IE8 most simple widgets should work regardless of language. in the case of the grid example, as with many ARIA widgets you need to turn document mode (virtual PC cursor for JAWS) off (toggle mode with INS + Z). regards Steve faulkner 2009/4/1 Ramón Corominas <ramon@ramoncorominas.com>: > Hmmm, so all my different versions of JAWS currently installed (6.20, 7.10, > 8.0 and 9.0) are stupid, because they're not able to correctly read any ARIA > content, for example, all the ICITA examples in > http://test.cita.uiuc.edu/aria/ > > For example, in the grid page: > *http://test.cita.uiuc.edu/aria/grid/grid1.php > JAWS is reading it as a simple data table, both with Firefox 2 & 3 and with > IE 6 (don't have now any other version of IE to test it). > > Could this be a problem of the language?
