voiceover

I'm having trouble figuring out how to advance VoiceOver to a specific element in Mobile Safari. So far, I've tried: <a href="#target">Skip</a> ... <a name="target"></a> This will (sometimes) advance to the target if the page is scrollable but doesn't work consistently on pages both long and short and sometimes will cause the following element not to get read! I've also tried: <a href="javascript:someElement.focus()">Skip</a> Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work for non-input fields. More advanced, I've tried placing the link before the element I want to skip and tried setting that element

I am trying to make my iPhone app accessible. Part of it involves generating accessible VoiceOver labels for the time and date parts of an NSDate . How do I format an NSDate in an accessible way that will work correctly in all languages that VoiceOver supports?

I need to switch off accessibility for an entire view hierarchy that must be handled differently by VoiceOver. How can I achieve this without having to loop through every single item in the object graph and mess with it's setting? Rakesh iOS Dev self.accessibilityElementsHidden = YES; This makes all subviews hidden from accessibility. I would try setting the accessibilityElementsHidden property of the main view to YES. If that does not what you want, I would

So i have a UICollectionView with a set of UICollectionViewCells displayed using a custom UILayout. I've configured the UILayout to lay out all the UICollectionViewCells almost exactly the same as how they are laid out in the photos app on ios. The problem is, it seems when voice over is turned on, and the user is traversing through the UICollectionViewCells using swipe, when the user gets to the last visible cell on the page, and tries to swipe forward to the next cell, it simply stops. I know that in UITableView the cells will just keep moving forward, and the table view will scroll down
