Currently, the enter key is not closing the popup when pressed on the already selected date. Can be tested in https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/datepicker/accessibilityandinternationalization/wcag2.0andsection508accessibility/defaultcs.aspx

Note: The popup calendar can be closed with Esc key in this case

There are accessibility issues with the calendar portion of the DatePicker which can be seen in the following demo:

https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/datepicker/accessibilityandinternationalization/wcag2.0andsection508accessibility/defaultcs.aspx

  • JAWS does not announce the selected date in the Date GridWhile running JAWS, open the calendar and use the arrow keys to move through the date grid. Notice that JAWS does not announce the date numbers, so there's no way to know what date is currently focused. 
  • The TAB does not refocus the DateInput back from the popup While the calendar is open, press the Tab key. Note that focus leaves the calendar. Even if the Tab is not the preferred form of navigation, it should be trapped as long as the calendar widget is open so that it cannot interrupt the user's interaction with the control.
  • Escape does not focus the DateInput/Escape does not work in Firefox - While the calendar is open and focused, press the escape key to close it. Note that focus is not returned to the calendar button. It's set top of the page. The calendar button IS focused when a date is selected from the calendar, so it should be possible to do the same when closing the calendar via any other means.
  • *Moved to separate feedback item* No direct way to select the prev/next month and year buttons - While the calendar is open and focused, note that there is no way to focus and use the month and year changing buttons in the calendar header.

All of the above were tested in both Chrome, IE, and Firefox.

Combined, these issues seem to break accessibility for both low-vision and keyboard-only users. Any improvements you can make in future releases would be greatly appreciated.

I have started using a shared calendar on RadDatePicker.  I also added a JavaScript example found I believe in the Telerik forum to set the min date of one RadDatePicker to the chosen date on the other RadDatePicker for a date range.  This isn't working correctly with a shared calendar because setting the min date on one RadDatePicker sets it on the calendar for both RadDatePickers. My solution was an OnPopupOpening function on the RadDatePicker to reapply the min/max dates to the calendar.  Here is the code:


    function onPopupOpening(sender, args) {
        var box = sender.get_dateInput();
        var cal = sender.get_calendar();
        var min = box.get_minDate();
        var max = box.get_maxDate();
        var mindate = [min.getFullYear(), min.getMonth() + 1, min.getDate()];
        var maxdate = [max.getFullYear(), max.getMonth() + 1, max.getDate()];
        cal.set_rangeMinDate(mindate);
        cal.set_rangeMaxDate(maxdate);
    }

My suggestion is to either have this done automatically by RadDatePicker or include something similar in the documentation for others who may have the same issue.

Regards,

Greg

We are trying to get our site to be WCAG AA compliant however the Telerik DatePicker appears to have inline styling on the second popup for month selection:

In much of the work we do, we need the user to pick a date-from and date-to.  Currently, this means making two distinct controls and having to write validation to ensure that date 1 must be before date 2.  Many sites, such as hotel booking sites, have a date-period selector as a single control and it would be great to have this available as part of the ASP.NET AJAX suite.  I believe that a date-period-selector tool is available as part of other Telerik control suites, so I was rather hoping that it could make an appearance for us too.  Thanks!
