Subject: Re: [WebAIM] accessible date pickers revisited
Greetings, WebAIM:
To continue this discussion (with myself, at least at the moment) and
to capture a bit of my research...
I took a look at the date picker in the recently released Assets Framework:
http://assets.cms.gov/resources/framework/2.0/Pages/datepicker.html
And it looks pretty good to me, from a screen reader user perspective.
Apparently, it's based on this jQuery plugin:
http://freqdec.github.io/datePicker/
[where there has been some attention to accessibility -- hurray!]
For the record, in case others use the WebAIM archives as often as I
do, below my name are a few more examples that I've checked. Some of
them were discussed in the previous thread on this topic.
Part of why I like the Assets Framework option is that it does offer
the date entry option, along with a calendar.
At least with JFW 15, however, I'd prefer to see the "expected date
format" in the edit box label, rather than below; however, this may
just be to show it as an example.
Best,
Jennifer

[See the example under ARIA Date Pickers, but probably a bit too
complex for my needs.]
