Re: [orca-list] Does Orca not respect role="application" on anything other than body elements?



Got it. My understanding is that role="application" should override text navigability, which is why I'm using it in this instance.


Thanks for the explanation.

Hi Nolan.

I just took a quick glance (as I'm in the middle of something else). But
as a general rule, Orca respects role="application" on page elements
when there is not something that looks like caret-navigable text. And
your paragraph child looks like caret-navigable text.

Working on an HTML-based ebook reader and am experimenting with using
role="application" so someone can't arrow down from a menu into ebook
text and trash their current position. But it doesn't seem like Orca
respects role="application" on non-body elements. Take, for instance,
this attached document. If I put role="application" on the body,
everything works as expected and I can't arrow around. But with it on
the <main/> element, nothing changes.

Am I missing something either in the spec, or in some Orca/Firefox
setup, that still permits this interaction? Thanks.
