[Solved] When navigating the table via keyboard, the page does not scroll

[Ed]

As part of a11y (accessibility) testing, we found that when we have a table that extends beyond the bottom edge of the browser, and we are navigating the table via the keyboard, the cell in focus can go offscreen.

1) Place focus within the table
2) Navigate the table cells via keyboard (Arrows -> <UP>, <DOWN>, <LEFT>, <RIGHT>)
3) Note that when you access a cell that is off screen, the page does not scroll to allow you as the user to see it.

Is there a way to force the page to scroll to show the currently selected cell?

Thanks,

Hi Ed,

I am afraid that there is not Kendo UI built-in option that you can use to scroll the page when you reach elements that are off screen. In general you can use the space bar in order to scroll the page and see more items.
