[WG: Accessibility] samigo Accessibiity issues tested?

[Richwine, Brian L]

> As today's Test Fest might be the last one for Samigo 2.9, I prefer not to risk this patch in 2.9. I can merge the code into trunk and we can perform detail QA there. If things look good, we will merge it into 2.9.1. Please let me know what you think.

I just realized I missed replying to this comment. Yes, I think waiting for full QA exposure is wise on this.

SAK-1295: Even though I've submitted a patch that appears to work for SAM-1295 I'm guessing the right way to fix it involves writing a custom jsf component that renders the HTML accessibly to begin with (on the server side) instead of relying on jQuery on the client side to patch it up. It's an interesting problem and the javaworld article gives good clues on how to write the custom component, but I don't think it would pay for me to learn jsf just to fix this issue. Though if I did learn that there are a few other places in Sakai that could benefit from more accessible jsf components!

SAK-1296: Hopefully we can have a fix for this that can get QA'd too! I have some thoughts on this. Would it be worth me creating some mock screen-shots to pass by the Samigo team?


Thanks for all your attention to the accessibility issues!

Hi Brian,

Thanks a lot for verifying these issues.

Please see below for me comments:

Here is an update on the Samigo Accessibility JIRAs:

3 Critical Samigo Accessibility Issues Still Open:

 These first two critical JIRAs would be Blockers if accessibility issues were ever considered Blockers:
     SAM-1296 - Accessibility: The 5 Minute Warning Modal jQuery Dialog Message Is Not Accessible
                           - With JAWS 12 and IE, as soon as the 5 minute warning dialog comes up the JAWS user gets stuck
                              in application mode and can't navigate or read the page. JAWS and IE are the most common
                              screen-reading software and web browser user agent combo.
     SAM-1295 - Accessibility: Multiple Choice Questions in Samigo Are Not Very Accessible
                           - The radio buttons used in the multiple choice single correct delivery are completely
                              Inaccessible to keyboard only users. Screen-reader users can set the wrong answer
                              Without knowing it.
As today's Test Fest might be the last one for Samigo 2.9, I prefer not to risk this patch in 2.9. I can merge the code into trunk and we can perform detail QA there. If things look good, we will merge it into 2.9.1. Please let me know what you think.


     SAM-1228 - Accessibility: Remove onkeypress handlers from links and form controls - Reopened
                           - There are still dozens of instances of links and buttons that have problematic
                              onkeypress handlers. It would be great if someone who knows the Samigo code
                              could grep for these and remove them. I'd be happy to explain the issue to anyone
                              interested in working on it. I don't think it would take someone who knows the tool
                              very long to make a big difference here.
I performed a grep and did see lots of onkypress left. I guess we only took out these onkeypress which are listed in the sub-tasks of SAM-1228. I can do further clean up work.

Could Not Verify:

     SAM-1274 - Accessibility: Remove onkeypress handler from model short answer link delivery
                           - I went to verify/test this and I discovered that I'm not sure how to activate this delivery code.
                             What question type and settings are needed to use the
                             /sam/trunk/samigo-app/src/webapp/jsf/delivery/item/deliverShortAnswerLink.jsp code?
