Accessability Compliance of ightmleditor
posted

Hi,

I would like to know if there is any way to make the ightmleditor compliant with WAI rules for accessibility.
The tab order and the button names are not readout by the accessability tools. I am using NVDA.

I have tried this on the sample provided on your page - https://www.igniteui.com/html-editor/overview

If you try tabbing to through the controls, you will see that the tab order is followed only for the buttons and the drop downs are ignored.

The text color and the background color does not have any valid text associated with it. So the assistive tech tools only reads them out as button and does not describe what it does.

The disabled buttons should be skipped from the tabbing order, but with ightmleditor, the disabled buttons also get a focus.

We are using version 18.1.76.

Please let me know if there is any way to make the editor completely accessible compliant.

Thanks,
Vaishnavi

    Hi, Vaishnavi.

    Thank you for using our product! 

    Here is the Accessibility Compliance document for the igHTMLEditor. You can see the code of the component here, where we only put `aria-disabled` (when component is disabled), which is not helping for you case. Drop downs in the igHTMLEditor don't have additional attribute like role="combobox" or other specific aria attributes. This is a feature request and you can log it as an issue in our open-source repository here.
