Description (last modified by Patrick Ruzand)

The mobile DatePicker? widget has the following a11y issues:

1) With VoiceOver? running, cannot advance to each picker wheel using Bluetooth attached keyboard. 2) With VoiceOver? running, cannot select a picker value using Bluetooth attached keyboard. Keyboard control of VoiceOver? is documented here: ​http://help.apple.com/ipad/5/voiceover/en/iPad74ec1e47.html

Also, with VoiceOver? on, the DatePicker? does not behave like a native iOS date picker.

  • A flick up/down does not select the next value in a picker.
  • A flick right/left does not select the next picker.
  • VoiceOver? announces a native iOS picker as a "picker". WAI-ARIA does not define a role="picker". Perhaps a role="range" will work. At least this role will give the user an indication that a range of values can be selected.

Ref #17697: Closing it as fixed:

  • now possible to advance to each picker wheel using Bluetooth attached keyboard.
  • Date now can be selected (with double-tap-hold gesture)

However it is still impossible to change the value using the keyboard with VoiceOver?. (VoiceOver? limitation? doesn't send keyboard events back to javascript).
