Best way to make JAWS read an embedded iframe's content

I'm trying to change the content of an iframe in a webpage and want JAWS screen reader to read only that content.

For this, I have used jQuery("#vn_space").focus();

But this doesn't seem to work properly in all browsers. In IE9, JAWS is not reading links as 'links', and in FF, it is not reading the iframe's content at all.

What should I do to make JAWS read the changed content properly?

Solution

  • Have you tried using the attribute tabindex in your HTML? It may be worthwhile to give aria-label and role a try, too, to see if they help with the issue.
