ARIA Grid Example using the DHTML keyboard style guide

I have created an new ARIA grid example based on the keystrokes in the AOL DHTML style guide.

http://test.cita.illinois.edu/aria/grid/grid4.php

I plan to add some additional widgets to gridcells to study how the escape key should operate when widgets are in grid cells, for example a date picker and combo boxes for locations.

I have done some testing with JAWS 11 and Firefox 3.5 since this is the combination that seems to work the best with speech.  IE 8 and JAWS 11 does not speak very much.

It is intersting to note that when navigating to a cell with content, it speaks all the labels, but not the contents of the gridcell.  If you use INSERT+KEYPAD5 it then speaks the girdcell contents only.

Comments and suggestions welcome.
