Nice work so far on the keyboard-only accessibility. I haven't tested it sight-free. Here are some things you might want to address.

- The icons and drop-down for these don't appear visually for me using Internet Explorer 11, though the invisible controls still work;
- I haven't found a way to change the year alone and directly with only the keyboard; and
- The day-of-week is non-apparent.

I hope this helps,
Steve

Subject: [WebAIM] Accessible Datepicker & NVDA Support

Hello experts,

I built up a datepicker using bits and pieces from other datepickers. Is there a way I can verify if that datepicker is compliant with USDOT-508 / meets the WCAG 2.1.1 guidelines?

Here is the working example for reference: https://jsfiddle.net/j49gz3g3/4/

Some people in the testing team say that it is not compliant since NVDA screen reader reads out the date along with the column/row number. They claim it should read only the date and not extra information.

Is that true?

Thanks,
Nisar
