    FF3: The jQuery UI Slider is skipped by JAWS when tabbing through page elements

    IE7: JAWS announces: "HTML slash UI Options Link" when it reaches the slider.

    This patch adds aria support to the thumb of the slider.

    I reviewed the results in Firebug, and +1

    I had committed a slight reworking of Alison's patch which included tests.
