With the following code in place (extracted from http://finance.yahoo.com/news)
Collapse this category
where the text inside the tag is positioned off-screen and is shown when the link gains keyboard focus, NVDA does not allow activating such a link with an ENTER or a SPACE bar key.
Interestingly enough, performing an accDoDefaultAction by pressing NVDA+NUM_ENTER activates the link fine.
This is tested with Firefox 3.6.8. The same code works great in IE8.
To repro:
- Open http://finance.yahoo.com/news.
- Pick an H3 heading called "Investing Ideas & Strategies" as an example.
The link in question is the "close category" link.
