I have never had any success with getElementsByClassname using jaws.
Some things to note though.
These methods only work from IE so that may also be causing an issue.
JavaScript is case sensitive and I have never tested if this translates through
to the jaws scripts. Eg there is a difference between getElementById and
GetElementByID.
Some pointers:
Var Object Button
Var Object Buttons = IEGetCurrentDocument().getElementsByTagName("BUTTON")
ForEach Button In Buttons
If Button.getAttribute("aria-hidden") == True Then
Button.setAttribute("aria-hidden", False)
EndIf
EndForEach
You may need more tests to ensure that you only make the required items visible
and you may need to change the element to input from button but you will get
the gist.

Offhand I don't remember. Perhaps its parent has a unique class or id and
then you could work down from there. Though I suppose at that point you would
want to be using the JS methods available via GetDocument and not XML
commands. I did once create a JAWS function that found every element that had
an id starting with a specific string and add an ARIA tag to make it appear
as a button to JAWS. Write me off list if you need me to find that code.

Ok, thanks! I'll take a look.
Can I use those functions to actually change an attribute in the DOM
though? I need to turn off the aria-hidden attribute so that JAWS can
see this particular button.

I believe you are stuck with the getXML and then using XML parsing commands
to get to the element in question. The Sharepoint scripts provided with the
JAWS use XML functions to grab the elements in the SharePoint toolbar and
present them in a dialog, this should give you a good starting point.

Hello everyone,
I'm still working on writing scripts for the internal credit card
application I mentioned a while ago.
I've run across a button that has aria-hidden=true set, so JAWS
doesn't see it. This site had another one just like this that I was
able to work around, but this one is giving me trouble. The button has
no ID set, but it does have a class. So, I should be able to use
GetElementsByClassName. The problem is that I'm not sure what type of
value this returns from a JAWS scripting standpoint. I thought it
returned an array, but that either isn't true, or I'm just not
accessing it correctly. Can anyone give me some pointers?
We are trying to reach out to the developers to get this stuff fixed,
but things are moving slower than we might like.
