No previous message | Next message →

Hi all,

First of all thanks to all the amazing people here who are helping alot on
the accessibility issues.

We have an ask where the HTML5 video player to be used which has proper
keyboard focus on controls and also keyboard accessible.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/video

The default HTML5 video player renders differently on Firefox and Chrome
and the keyboard focus on player controls works fairly better on chrome.

Can someone suggest how can the keyboard accessibility be achieved for the
default video players on Firefox?

Thanks in advance!

Sudhy.

Hi,
The Firefox keyboard support for the audio and video default players is
disappointing but might be passable.
The Enter and spacebar keys will toggle the play/pause button. The up and
down arrow keys will control the volume. I know of no technique to announce
the elapsed time.

Thanks for the response Jeff!

I have raised a bug - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494175
against Firefox and got it duplicated. There is already an open issue on it.
