Customize Tabs preference settings

• Unable to manipulate project icons in combo box. Keyboard functionality is not accessible because the sites are not announced when tabbed to, to receive focus, nor is action announced when site is moved.
• Arrowing through the site list does not move focus. Clicking "Enter" on the site will focus on a site. It is possible to use Ctrl+arrow to manipulate the site but the action not announced. Impossible to change focus from selected site without tabbing, but tabbing to other sites will be announced as the originally selected site, as will tabbing to any other control in the frame. Must reload window to get VC working again. Refreshing screen will not work.
• This is a spatial paradigm so it is not clear which arrows should be used to perform which function for non-sighted users. Per 11/17/11 concall, Gonzalo thought it might be possible to expose the underlying check-box functionality, which might be more intuitive for SR users.

• Provide more explicit instructions for screen reader users, who cannot intuit spacial paradigm of containers and directional movement.

Update preferences button

• Update status message is not announced to JAWS. It can be parsed before it disappears, but the message is at the top of the page, nowhere near the Update button. Message is functionally inaccessible.

• Use ARIA to announce the updated status message after submit button is activated.

Notifications preferences

• Expand/Contract headings are not proper headings, and are announced as "graphic announcements clickable", for example. If the user hits enter, nothing is announced, but the radio buttons for that category will be hidden from the screen reader user. 
• No fieldsets or legends are used for the radio button sets.

•  Announce when radio buttons are hidden from user, eg, "announcements options are now hidden." Likewise, announce when they are displayed.
• Use fieldsets and legends to group radio buttons.
