321632 - UAAG: Allow structured navigation

Status: NEW

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Dan Kinnunen]

From UAAG specification, checkpoint 9.9:
   1.  Allow the user to navigate efficiently to and among important structural elements in rendered content.
   2. As part of satisfying provision one of this checkpoint, allow forward and backward sequential navigation.

The specific failing UAAG tests are listed below.  First, here are some recommended solutions:
1. List important elements (forms, controls, links, headings, tables, lists) in the Page Info dialog and make the list items live so that a user can move the focus or caret to those important elements. Forms, form controls, and links are listed in Page Info but are not live.
