Screen Reader Issue (keyboard navigation / accessibility)
I have a problem I can’t seem to solve. I have a slide with an image of a dial on it. The dial is a button that you can click to move it to 7 different positions (imagine an old tv knob with 7 stations). It works correctly unless a screen reader is being used. Here is the behavior I am seeing:
· IE/Flash/NO screen reader – Work as it should. Press the tab key until the knob has focus and then press enter to activate the button. It moves the dial to its second position (state) and moves to second layer that still has access to the base objects. Pressing enter again repeats that same performance and sets the dial to position 3 and shows layer 3.
· IE/Flash/Screen reader – Works as it should for the first click but never again. Press the tab key until the knob has focus and then press enter to activate the button. It moves the dial to its second position (state) and moves to second layer that still has access to the base objects. Pressing enter again does NOTHING.
I did not test with Chrome because (as of today, and to my best understanding) Chrome does not support JAWS. I did not test with HTML5 because (as of today, and to my best understanding), HTML5 is only supported in Chrome, and not IE. So it seems that IE/Flash is the only option I have if I need to create accessible learning.
Everything else with my site is working just fine. It is just this one slide. I am attaching my .story just in case someone wants to lend a hand.
Thanks !!!
