问题 I'm creating a website for a reading service for the blind and visually impaired and I'm using JavaScript (with jQuery) to print some stuff to some of the pages after the page has loaded. Will the screen reader read the content that is printed to the page with jquery after the page has been loaded? From this page - "Generally, [screen readers] access the DOM (Document Object Model), and they use browser APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to get the information they need." and we know

问题 JAWS says the description twice: "Back to Google's website link graphic. Google's Test Lon and dash back to Google's website". Investigations reported this appears to be repeated twice as it is stated once for the image/graphic link and once for the title of the hyperlink. I was wondering what the best practice is for this accessibility/disability coding wise, I'm I doing it the correct way or is their a best practice for this? please feel free to modify answer. <div class="col-md-2"> <a href

问题 I am working on accessibility fixes for an Angular project at work. I am facing an issue accessing a modal. I have a main component which opens another component on top of it covering half the screen. That component opens a modal on button click. This modal is not accessible by tab. And even weirder, the tabindex=0 that you see assigned in the code below automatically gets assigned tabindex=-1 when the modal appears on screen. Even the buttons, which don't even have a tabindex attribute

问题 I have run into an issue with the JAWS screen reader & Firefox. I have a tree like the one below. Whenever any of the <a> elements gain focus, either by tabbing from the window or from the <button> , JAWS narrates the element three times . As far as i can tell, Firefox is the only browser that does this. Is there something wrong with my markup here? <nav role="tree"> <ol role="group"> <li role="presentation"> <a href="javascript:void(0)" role="treeitem">Parent Link 1</a> <ol role="group"> <li

Accessibility Questions on best practices for aria-describedby and form fields

天大地大妈咪最大 提交于 2020-06-27 06:26:46
问题 The following example is a typical form field for collecting a first name. I have an aria-describedby on the input referencing two different text-areas that help describe the inputs function. The first aria-describedby reference is what I called "Hint" and is basically the placeholder attribute text on the input (aka the shadow text you see in the back of the text box). The “Hint” text area is a span with a class to visibly hide it but will still be read by screen readers. The second aria

问题 I've been looking for the last few days and can't find an answer anywhere. I'm trying to make an accessible IDE in Java Swing. The only thing I'm having problems with, is emulating behavior that happens in other text text editors. I want the screen reader (JAWS, in particular) to read whatever is in the selected line of the text area (not like highlighted, just wherever the cursor is - that whole line). If I try this in Eclipse, or even notepad, whenever I use the arrow keys to move the text

问题 The confirmation dialogues in chrome are not accessible to JAWS screenreader (Version 18.0.2945). I experienced that with a simple onbeforeUnload dialog as well as with a javascript confirm dialog. The text in the dialog will not be read. Did anyone experience similar problems or knows an answer? 回答1: As of today, 18/09/2017, this is a jaws issue. The code works on all other major browsers. There is no solution at present. Just for your information, alert and prompt have the same problem.

JAWS, Accessibility and VB6

问题 I am just beginning to learn about accessbility specifically in relation to JAWS - so newbie alert! I am looking to modify an old vb6 app which has a form with a 3 column flexgrid. There is a custom edit box which is overlaid on the form for editing in the right most column. On row change, ideally JAWS needs to read the contents of the 2 leftmost columns on that row. I am wondering how best to implement this? I have seen possible solutions of loading into a text file and shelling out to JAWS
