[PATCH][CCLA] dijit.Form.DropDownButton: JAWS treats drop down button as two buttons

Reported by: mikeb Owned by: Douglas Hays

Component: Dijit - Form Version: 1.8.0

Description

While the <input type="button"> element that is the valueNode for dijit.form.Button includes role="presentaiton", it does not for dijit.form.DropDownButton?. This causes JAWS to count each dropDownButton as two buttons. You can see this behavior when JAWS encounters a role="toolbar" containing DropDownButtons?: it reports it is in a toolbar with twice as many DropDownButtons? as actually exist. For example, go to ​http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dijit/tests/editor/test_LinkDialog.html and listen. JAWS eventually reads "toolbar 22 buttons" instead of 20 buttons. The patch adds role="presentation" to the valueNode (just like on Button) so JAWS only counts one button per drop down.
