Firefox 1.5 is reporting some items as "invisible" in Active Accessibility when they should probably be visible. It is also reporting "visible" children within "invisible" parents, which doesn't seem correct. These issues didn't occur in Firefox 1.0. Example pages (viewed using Accessibility Explorer): http://www.yahoo.com The icon links at the top (Finance, Music, Shopping, etc.) and the Search Category tabs/links are represented as “Invisible” by Active Accessibility, but they are clearly visible to the user. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/releases/1.5.html The navigation links on the right side of the page are represented to Active Accessibility as: [ list – visible ] [ list item – invisible ] [ link – visible ] Downloading and Installing [ list item – invisible ] [ link – visible ] System requirements ... http://www.technorati.com/pop/news/ Here the HTML <ol> list on the right column is represented as: [ list – invisible ] [ list item – visible ] [ link – visible ] [ list item – visible ] [ link – visible ]
Problem in ATK as well.
