HI all, I have been testing the ARIA role=dialog and have been finding poor support in AT for rich content inside dialog containers. Many use for dialog like structures in modern web pages include rich web content that should be interacted with using the virtual cursor. I thought that nesting a container with role=document would provide an indiectaion to AT that they should switch to virtual cursor mode, but have found that this is not handled well. example code: <div role="dialog> ... <div role="document"> HTML content ... </div> </div> Any ideas on why or how this can be remedied? -- with regards Steve Faulkner Technical Director - TPG www.paciellogroup.com | www.HTML5accessibility.com | www.twitter.com/stevefaulkner HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives - dev.w3.org/html5/alt-techniques/ Web Accessibility Toolbar - www.paciellogroup.com/resources/wat-ie-about.html
