Subject: Keyboard behavior with JAWS
No previous message | Next message →

Recently, I faced a scenario where keyboard "Enter" key is not functioning
as expected and we have to press "Alt+Enter" in order to make it work.

In our webpage, we have some button elements and onclick of those buttons,
it is performing some action. We have used onkeypress event with
keycode="13" (Enter) to handle the functionality. But when I hit Enter it
is not even firing the event but working absolutely normal with "Alt+Enter".

After that, I tried to do console.log() and saw that all key stock action
is working normally if I press any key with "Alt".

Now, my problem is, I am not sure whether that key combination is common
for screen reader user or not.

If anyone can share user experience for this kind of senario or a solution
of this problem, that will be GREAT Help.

Note: All keyboard keys are working fine with role="application" but I
don't want to make it a application region. :)

Thanks & Regards
PRATIK ROY

Jaws/NVDA in browse mode activate the element's onclick event when
enter is pressed with focus on that element (not the onKey events). In
application/forms mode howver, the onKey events are triggered when
user presses enter.
If you change the function trigger to be the onClick event, you should be fine.

You don't need to use the keypress handler. When the <button> element is used with a click handler, the browser automatically handles keyboard interaction for you.

Correct, and as an FYI to new people -- for other elements (not buttons and anchors) such as divs, adding an onlick and tabindex is not enough to provide keyboard access -- an author would need an onlick and keyboard event handlers to support both the click from a screen reader in browse mode and keyboard access.

Jaws/NVDA in browse mode activate the element's onclick event when enter is pressed with focus on that element (not the onKey events). In application/forms mode howver, the onKey events are triggered when user presses enter.
If you change the function trigger to be the onClick event, you should be fine.

Correct guess!

Our developers are using <div> with tabindex="0" and role="button", so you

Okay, but so you're listening to both events then?

click, keyup? (I use either keyup or keydown, and avoid keypress
like the plague)

Correct guess!

Our developers are using <div> with tabindex="0" and role="button", so you can say these are fake buttons.

Can you explain why the use of a fake button? A real button would negate the need to manually trap for keyboard interaction...
