508 issue with Radgrid pagination ( tab order incorrect)

[Wei]

Hi,

Another issue found by our 508 team for radgrid table with pagination. When user tab through it, after the tab of the last column header of radgrid, it should goes to the 1st checkbox inside the radgrid table ( 1st row of the radgrid data table has checkbox), but instead, it come to the 1st link of pagination portion. The tab order is incorrect.

Is there any way to address it?

Thanks,
Wei

Hi Wei,

The mentioned behavior is actually expected for the RadGrid table. In the rendered HTML it is firstly rendered thead, after that tfoot( in which footer is the pager item) and after that the tbody element. Therefore the tabbing order will appear exactly in the way you described. This is the RadGrid table structure and we are not planning any changes on it.


All the best,

Hi,
Do you have any sample client-side code to manually move the focus to the desired elements?
Thank you

Hi,

Please take a look into the following Javascript which set focus on TextBox in ItemTemplate on an external button click.

Javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientClick()
    {
        var master = $find("<%=RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();
        var row = master.get_dataItems()[0]; //accessing the 0th index row
        var txtbox = row.findElement("TextBox1"); //accessing TextBox in ItemTemplate
        txtbox.focus();
    }
</script>

Thanks,
Princy.
