Hello All,
Our product is working toward an accessibility guidelines and have run into a few issues that we do not have control over and hope that you can fix.
Image alt text is used by screen readers to give the user more information about what the image is. It also serves the purpose of a filler if the image does not exist for any reason and thus the functionality can still exist for the image.
In your grids, the ASC/DEC arrows that show up in the header do not have alt text. The alt text should be user definable.
In your paging bars (for grids) the First Page, Previous Page, Next Page and Last Page image buttons need alt text.
In your combo boxes, We use the image combo’s and are unable to specify alt text on the images in the combo nor the image in the value area(not the pull down section). We can also not set the alt text on the down arrow to the right.
I suggest on img columns in the dhtmlx grids you use the title text as the alt text as well or allow defining alt text separately.
Please respond with any information around when and if this will be fixed.
Thank you,
Nicholas Burns
