Accessibility
The Calendar is accessible by screen readers and provides full WAI-ARIA accessibility support.
WAI-ARIA Support
The Calendar uses the aria-selected, aria-disabled, and aria-activedescendant properties on the nested elements depending on the current state of the component and its options.
The Calendar supports the grid role. Each cell from the Calendar has a gridcell role.
To move the focus to the current keyboard navigation position, the Calendar uses the aria-activedescendant approach.
The component follows the WAI-ARIA best practices for implementing the keyboard navigation for its component role and is tested against the popular screen readers.
Section 508
The Calendar is compliant with the Section 508 requirements.
Limitations
The following issues are related to the WAI-ARIA support limitations of browsers and screen readers:
- Internet Explorer 10 and 11 work best with the Jaws screen reader. Other readers are not supported very well. For more information, refer to issue 817699.
- Microsoft Edge works best with Microsoft Narrator screen reader. For more information, refer to issue 8571350.
