No previous message | Next message →

I have the below markup. JAWS 2018 is reading it with both IE11 and Firefox
52 ESR.



NVDA, on the other hand, is not reading the legend in either browser. I am
using NVDA 2018.3. Is this a bug in NVDA?



<fieldset>

<legend>

Would you like to take our survey?

</legend>

<button>

Yes

</button>

<button>

No

</button>

</fieldset>

It doesn't announce at all? What about if you switch out of forms mode? I
wonder if it's not announcing because it contains buttons instead of a
group?

The only thing I was able to find on the web was a bug in NVDA. If an input
field is used before the buttons, then NVDA goes into forms mode and speaks
the legend. If it is in browse mode, it won't honor it and read the legend.

This sounds like the same issue.

NVDA does not read the legend of a fieldset in browse mode.
It only announces the legend if application mode is triggered (e.g.
for radio buttons or dropdowns)

The issue was filed because of a fieldset containing checkboxes, but
the same applies to a fieldset containing only buttons, neither of
these control types trigger NVDA's application mode.
The best you can do is to comment on the issue, I can do the same.
Also trigger a Twitter conversation with the NVDA team to try and put
it higher on their stack of issues. It's been sitting there for 4 or 5
years now.

I agree. It's been 3 years according to my research. They need to do
something about it.

Hi JP,

As a work-around, would you be able to mark it up as a dialog instead?
JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver all read dialogs beautifully so long as the
correct ARIA attributes are used.

Cheers, Isabel

It's a good idea technically but by doing so you would be totally
misrepresenting the look and purpose of the fieldset. It is not an
overlay of items, separate from the page, just a group of related form
controls.
I'm personally a stickler for not drastically recoding web components
because of a screen reader, but I am not always right either. *grin*
One thing you could also do is to put a unique id on the legend and
use ariaödescribedby to point to it, either from all the form controls
or just the first one (enough to give users the context and simulate
the way most screen readers represent grouped controls, reading the
common label when the first control in the group receives focus).

As suggested the other day, I commented on the issue in an NVDA issue on
Github (https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/3321). There was a response
from James Teh stating that the issue has already been fixed, but also
asking that if anyone had an example where it wasn't working to please
document. I guess providing a link to a live situation would do.

So if anyone has such an example where NVDA is not announcing the legend
text, perhaps they could mention it in the Github issue.

Ah, we had just run into the checkbox bug. I sent a test case.
