Subject: Issue with text box content not read when having datarole -numeric text box
No previous message | Next message →

Hi,
Iam having issues with screen reader not reading values in the textbox and reading page title when reading the textbox values .
This textbox is just different from a normal textbox is that it has html element role =" numerictextbox" . This issue is only with Chrome and Egde browsers .
Did anyone encountered this issue before and found any solutions .

Also the issue happens only on tabbing the controls … in browse mode ( using arrows ) . It works perfectly.

Thanks for ur help.

Thanks ,
Manju

I'd start with looking at that role, as role="numerictextbox" is not
valid. Change it to role="textbox".

Also, what is the underlying HTML element, is it an <input>?
How is it labeled, aria-label or aria-labelledby?
