role="complementary"

This test case is designed to determine how role="complementary" is announced by various screen readers.

By default, the element being tested does not receive focus, so the only way to test how it is announced is via:

VoiceOver: Announce next item: VO + Right Arrow
NVDA and JAWS: Announce next line: DOWN ARROW

Example

Code

<div role="complementary">
  <h4>Test content</h4>
