Hi,
I have RadGrid with paging set to true. It is showing page size dropdown to select the number of records. JAWS is reading this drop down as read only label not as the drop down. I am not able to select options of drop down with down arrow key. Focus is moved to next control.
Version of JAWS is 14.0.
Please help.

Hello,
I tried the approach you are describing and noticed the behavior you are observing. This behavior is caused by the fact that the JAWS screen reader takes the focus from the Grid and from the drop-down list in the pager. It threats your action as you wish to go to the other element not to the options from the drop-down control.
Since this behavior is not caused by our control I am afraid that we do not have much to do.

Hi,
JAWS is setting focus to the page size dropdown control of paging (which is next to the page numbers) and reading this dropdown as label instead of dropdown. It is not reading the items of dropdown when it is expanded using enter key. Tab or Down Arrow Key is moving focus to next control.
JAWS is reading all items of asp dropdowns using Down Arrow Key.
Code is same as mentioned in this article.
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/generalfeatures/paging/defaultcs.aspx.
Here, I am able to select the items of page size dropdown using Down Arrow Key without JAWS. Please help to resolve this.

Hi,
We are aware of the issue, it will be fixed for one of the next releases.
However, you could try to enable WaiAria support of RadGrid and check whether the issue still replicates.

I am having a similar issue with Rad Grids in Jaws and Window Eyes.
I have applied EnabeAriaSupport="True" and at times the screen reader does not recognise tables. Would you happen to know the reason why?
How to replicate this bug?
Press the screen reader shortcut "t" and it will automatically read out the first table on the page.
I hope you can help.
Thanks

Hello,
We are testing the accessibility of our controls with Compliance Sheriff to meet the section 508 standards. Other than that we could not confirm or deny compliance with any other tool.

Hi - did you ever get any where with your question? All of my radgrids are completely empty for JAWS. And it's pretty dire...thoughts?
