Ajax and screen reader users
Hi All,
Very specific question here largely aimed at screen reader users as I think they are the group likely to be affected. We are using JQuery to update the DOM on $(document).ready. I'm worried this may not work for screen readers, as the event used is described as "Description: Specify a function to execute when the DOM is fully loaded" http://api.jquery.com/ready/. An example of this is below:
| Code: |
| <div id="testajax"></div>
<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready (function () { $.ajax({ url: "http://foo.local/test/testPartial", success: function (data) { $("#testajax").html(data); }, error: function (data) { } }); }) </script> |
So my question would be, does the data being pulled in by this piece of jquery get loaded into the virtual buffer by screenreaders?

Yes, is quiet around here nowadays and sadly very few screen reader users, I suspect. Hope you get a useful response soon!
