I was trying to use the Kendo Grid UI control.

When the HTML is generated it gets two tables, one for the header and one
for the body. This becomes hard for accessibility, can someone please guide
me how do I set to generate only one table with header and data in it.

Any suggestions for making kendo grid accessible for JAWS.

For similar problem for fixed header tables, we have implimented a hidden
row as header in the body table. This additional header row is visually
hidden to the all users but is exposed to screen readers. Technically these
solution asks for two header rows, one for screen reader users and one for
non screen reader users. Not sure if that technique can be applied here.

You may be able to use aria-owns to associate the different rows into one grid structure and then apply role presentation on the non-used grid element.

I was trying to use the Kendo Grid UI control.

Any suggestions for making kendo grid accessible for JAWS.
