Making VM compatible to JAWS screen reader

2767796Mar 5 2015 — edited Mar 17 2015

iHi Folks

I have a Multiple Entity Collect Interview screen which is parsed from ContainmentRelationshipControl.vm  and there are various entities on screen collected atm.

Í am using JAWS(Insert+F3>>Edit Boxes/Labels) to read out these entities. However to make it more accessible I am trying to customise the entities on screen by using a <span class="visuallyhide"">for ${counter}</span>

where the variable counter is initialsed in one of the for each loop of above vm ie

#foreach( $otherInputControl in $collectControls )

#set($counter = $velocityContext)

#end

However my "view page source" action on browser correctly displays the counter value per instance label & question but the JAWS screen reader(insert+f3>>Edit Boxes/Labels) reads out counter value = 3 (say there are three instances on screen) for every instance label/question which is not correct !! why does the JAWS not reload the page and infer per vm? why does it read our the final value of counter? doesn't it read the html that is formed in page source??

Awaiting all your advices.

Many Thanks

Angie
