Dear all, How does one make an accessible autocomplete dropdown: an edit box that proposes suggestions as you type. The typical example and the most accessible one that I know is what google uses. after typing a few letters one can press down arrow to scroll through the suggestions. Using JAWS these are spoken and readable on a braille display. Is this JQuery example considered accessible: http://view.jquery.com/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/demo/ Using JAWS9 and IE7 or Firefox3.5 I don'§ find it very easy to use. The options are kind of spoken but not displayed in braille. It definitely does not work as smooth as google suggest. What do you recommend as an accessible implementation of an autocomplete dropdown? Regards Bart Simons -- AnySurfer - Quality mark for accessible websites in Belgium http://www.anysurfer.be
