![]() ![]() Multiple values: The edit field should be wrapped in a container with role=application so that Forms Mode is not automatically exited when Enter is pressed to select a value from the autosuggest list in JAWS.Combobox: Pressing Up and Down does not convey search results as instructed.Meaning that, if accordion content includes additional ARIA widgets, such as a real Tab control that uses ARIA role=tablist and role=tab to convey a nested ARIA Tab control, it is impossible for screen reader users to determine the difference between an accordion node and one of the nested tab controls, because both are announced as “Tab”, nor can screen reader users determine the proper order and level of nested Tab controls for the same reason, since no level information is conveyed.Īdditionally, the Sortable Accordion implementation is not accessible for screen reader and keyboard only users. The problem with doing this, is that the insertion point for new accordion content is included within the container with role=tablist. This is true for all of the following implementations:Īll of the implementations use ARIA role=tablist and role=tab to convey expandable and collapsible accordion nodes. Sortable: None of the sortable implementations are accessible from the keyboard, nor are they accessible to screen reader users with supporting ARIA markup, the focus movement and ARIA markup of which must match to ensure accessibility for both. This simulated select is not accessible to keyboard only users, nor does it have any ARIA support to ensure accessibility for screen reader users, both of which must match to ensure accessibility for both. jQuery UI Widgetsĭrag and drop functionality is not accessible to keyboard only users, nor to screen reader users, the importance of which is demonstrated on the Shopping Cart demo. This list only covers the highest priority accessibility issues as they relate to screen reader and keyboard only users, and does not cover low vision or voice navigation software accessibility. In the meantime, the following test results explain the various issues that were found during the accessibility analysis. In time, this will likely improve as these issues are worked on by project developers. To summarize, the public jQuery UI library widgets as of July 1, 2013, are mostly inaccessible for both screen reader and keyboard only users. Since a comprehensive accessibility analysis of jQuery UI has not recently been done, I decided to do so in order to see what the current level of accessibility is for the library, and to determine how useful it would be as an accessible development resource. I recently had a discussion on the Web Accessibility LinkedIn group regarding the importance of keyboard accessibility, and how there needs to be an accessibility related training resource for engineering students, one that is always accessible out of the box, in order for informed diagnosis of accessibility issues to take place effectively in the future.ĭuring the conversation, jQuery UI was suggested as an accessible resource for this purpose. ![]()
