[PATCH][CCLA] JAWS does not initially announce dijit.form.Select selected value

Reported by: mikeb Owned by: Bill Keese <bill@…>
Priority: undecided Milestone: 1.8.11
Component: Dijit - Form Version: 1.9.0
Keywords: a11y, JAWS Cc:

Description

If you navigate to this page: ​http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dijit/tests/form/test_Select.html with JAWS and tab into the first dijit.form.Select dijit, JAWS does not read the first selected option. For example, JAWS will say "Test one colon list box collapsed" - it should read out "Virginia." The reason for this is that the "aria-selected" attribute is not applied to the <span> with role="option". Interestingly, when the user activates the listbox, dijit creates a new drop down with all of the available options and correctly applies aria-selected attribute, which is why JAWS will read the options as you scroll through.

The fix is to just apply aria-selected to this initial DOM node.

This raises another accessibility issue in that now when you tab into the Select, JAWS will read the name of the selected item, followed by "one of one", which indicates that there are no other options to select. We are working to figure out a solution to this (lesser priority) issue.
