We had been discussing it for Eclipse when IA2 was added. I see no reason why it could not.
Thunderbird is generally web based. A role of "log" applied to the that log "should" cause T-bird to tell JAWS that it is a live region and that it is a chat log. http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria/roles#log Rich Schwerdtfeger From: Peter Korn <peter.k...@oracle.com> To: Cc: IAccessible2 mailing list <accessibility-ia2@lists.linuxfoundation.org> Date: 09/11/2012 06:29 PM Subject: [Accessibility-ia2] Using IA2 live region / politeness outside of HTML content Sent by: accessibility-ia2-boun...@lists.linuxfoundation.org Hey IA2 peeps, Does anyone know if any apps & AT are using the IA2 attributes for live region politeness outside of ARIA-markedup HTML? The question came up today with a blind JAWS user who would like an accessible and efficient IM solution. Since Thunderbird 15 now includes IM / live chat (and Firefox/Mozilla generally support IA2), this seemed like it might be a nice path forward for accessible/efficient IM on Windows - via the same IA2 APIs for getting live regions to speak...
