Re: accessible date input [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Ah, got it fixed. Now it works in JAWS 12, 13, and 14 in IE 8 and 9, and using both JAWS 14 and NVDA in Firefox.

  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:

    Subject: accessible date input

     

    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
