Hi,

Indeed you are right. The aria-current attribute must be present on the currently selected page element.

Generally, we are working on creating common accessibility and keyboard navigation specifications for each component from the suite that must be applied through all Kendo flavors. The primary tool that we are aiming to comply with is axeDevTools. The above aria-current description is part of the specification of the Grid which is going to be applied, hopefully, this year.

Indeed updating the packages according to these specifications is a long-term task. So far we successfully updated some packages from the suite and still trying to fix as many issues as we can. However, the Grid is not reviewed yet, thus accessibility issues might still appear.

Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin - the issue that's being reported here is that the pagination controls for the grid are styled to convey a selected state, but there this state is not provided programmatically, as can be demonstrated by reviewing the demo you posted.

What's missing here is that the button that is currently active needs to have an aria-current=true to reflect the state it conveys visualy via the "k-selected" class.  This is the fix that's necessary to resolve this issue.

Thanks!

Hi all,

Indeed the mentioned Overview demo is not navigable. Set the navigable option to true in order to enable the built-in keyboard shortcuts of the Grid and pager, and proper announcement of the selected pages. For more details please check this article:

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/keyboard-navigation/

As a side note, please next time make sure that the correct component from the right Kendo suite is chosen (Angular, React, Vue, jQuery) before submitting a ticket, as this determines which team will handle it. Thank you.

Regards,
Martin
