[Bug 1759054] Re: datepicker not accessible by screen reader

 

After testing with Julius, 2 problems have been discovered:
• datepicker doesnt open at all on focus
• the screenreader reads 'hh:mm' as 'hours:minutes'. Adding a space between the h's and m's should fix this

There is aria text provided which means that visually impaired users can
still use the field, its just the datepicker that doesnt appear

Title:
  datepicker not accessible by screen reader

Status in Mahara:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  There are still a few issues that make datepicker not accessible:

   - when the datepicker field receives focus, the screen reader doesn't see the datepicker form has been displayed
   - when on the datepicker we press 'H' it changes to the timepicker form, but the screen reader doesn't see there has been a change
   - the text with instructions on how to change the time (hours or minutes) is not read by the sr
   - it doesn't say how to come back from the timepicker mode
