Selectmenu and screenreaders: Selectmenu works with NVDA and IE8, but not NVDA and IE11

Selectmenu and screenreaders: Selectmenu works with NVDA and IE8, but not NVDA and IE11

Hi there,

I'm using a selectmenu widget on my site, and I need to support screenreaders. I've noticed the selectmenu works fine with NVDA and IE8, but not NVDA and IE11. (Probably the first time I've come across something that works in IE8 and not IE11 - it's usually the other way around.)

Is this a known issue? Do jQuery UI widgets in general support screenreaders, or is it not something that's tested?

Has anyone else come across problems with selectmenus and screenreaders? If so, is there a way to get them to play nicely?

Thanks,

- Josh
