The progress bar is made accessible by providing a solid border around the visual progress indicator. This border is implemented in an additional z-indexed layer tso it does not change the visual characteristics of the bar when not in high contrast mode.. The layer with the border will be visible in high contrast mode as well as when images are turned off.

The internalProgress div is assigned the ARIA role of progressbar  The valuenow attribute is updated as the progress is updated. No valuemin and valuemax values are provided since the valuenow attribute may be a string provided tby the Web developer.

Note: The hot key for the Window-Eyes screen reader to speak progress bar information is ctrl-ins-b. JAWS provides the hot key ins-tab for announcing progress bar name and status.JAWS also has a setting to select the frequency of progress bar announcements.  Go to the Configuration Manager, Select Set Options, then User Options and select the desired announcement frequency.
