Re: accessible date input [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Have you noticed that JAWS 14 has apparently broken role=dialog support?

I noticed this on the date picker demo you mentioned at
http://wet-boew.github.com/wet-boew/demos/datepicker/datepicker-eng.html 

  It worked in JAWS 12 and 13 in IE, but no longer in 14.

  I've been having the same trouble with my own date picker at
  http://whatsock.com/modules/aria_calendar_module/demo.htm

  So this no longer matches NVDA behavior in FF as expected, and breaks keyboard accessibility for screen reader users even though it's keyboard accessible.

  Hi Roger,

   

  Take a look at the CA Govt resources at:

  ·         http://wet-boew.github.com/wet-boew/index-eng.html 

  ·         http://wet-boew.github.com/wet-boew/demos/index-eng.html 

   

  And also see the Paciello Group work for the EU Aegis project:

  Cheers, Andrew

  Hi

   

  I am looking for an accessible way to input dates that allow the user to either enter the date via the keyboard in a text field or enter the date from an accessible datepicker calendar.

   

  This is to be used with a site using HTML 4.01 Strict  (i.e. not HTML 5).

   

  Anyone got any suggestions. 

   

  Thanks

  Roger
